Ingredients

  • 16 ounces penne pasta
  • 1.5 pounds breaded chicken cooked
  • 36 ounces marinara sauce (about 3 cups)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp Italian bread crumbs
Garnish (optional)
  • chopped fresh basil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Prepare the pasta per package directions to al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks chop the chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Then mix the chicken, marinara sauce, and parmesan cheese together.
  3. Once the pasta is done, drain and add to a large (2.5 qt) casserole dish. Mix in the marinara sauce mixture until all of the noodles are evenly coated. Top the casserole with the mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the cheese and return to the oven for 5 more minutes. For extra crispy topping, broil for 1-3 minutes.
  5. Garnish the top with freshly chopped basil and serve hot.
