Chicken Parmesan Casserole
Forget the time and effort of breading and frying chicken – this Chicken Parmesan Casserole gives you the same flavors and crispy texture from chicken parmesan with half the effort!
Ingredients
- 24 oz marinara sauce prepared
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 6 chicken breast boneless, skinless, halves 6 to 8 oz each
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 teaspoons basil lightly dried
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 5 oz crouton roughly crushed, garlic flavored
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Spread a thin layer of the marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the garlic over.
- Season the chicken on both sides with the seasoned salt. Place in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the chicken, then sprinkle the basil over the top.
- Sprinkle half of the Mozzarella over the top, then half of the Parmesan, and then the croutons. Add the remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil. Continue to bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the croutons are browned and the chicken is at least 160ºF on an instant read thermometer.
- Serve hot.
