How to make Chicken Parmesan Casserole?

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

• You start by cooking the Pasta until al dente.
• I use Penne Pasta. You can use Rigatoni or any Pasta of your choice.
• Cook the Pasta with salt and water until al dente.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

• Cut the Chicken breasts into small 1" bite sized crumbs
• Set up a breading station
• In a bowl whisk together Cornstarch with all the spices
• Crack in two eggs in a bowl and add breadcrumbs in another bowl
• Coat the Chicken pieces first with the Cornstarch mixture, then with the egg mixture and finally with the breadcrumbs mixture.

STEP 3: Cook the Chicken

• Heat Olive Oil in a skillet and add the Chicken Breasts to it.
• Cook until it gets crispy over medium high heat for 10 minutes.

STEP 4: Assemble the Casserole

• Add the cooked Pasta to a casserole dish
• Top with crispy chicken. Pour in the Marinara sauce over it
• Top with shredded Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese
• Bake @350F or 180C for 15 min.

STEP 5: Serve

• Once the cheese gets golden brown on top, cut and serve.

Variations & Substitution:

• Whole Wheat Pasta: You can use healthy whole wheat pasta or lentil pasta to make this Pasta casserole even healthier and high in protein
• Rotisserie Chicken: You can use Rotisserie Chicken instead of chicken breast. It will save a lot of cooking time for you.

How to make Chicken Parmesan Casserole ahead of time?

You can cook the pasta, add the chicken and marinara over it and cover and refrigerate or freeze this. You can freeze this for upto a week in advance.

Right before you're ready to serve, top with extra cheese on top and bake in the oven. You do not have to thaw it before baking. Just bake for an extra 10 minutes.
