    Easy Chicken Casserole Recipe | Chicken Parmesan Recipe

    Chicken Parmesan | Easy Chicken Casserole Recipe

    There are so many nights when you need a quick and easy recipe and this easy chicken casserole recipe can be the perfect dinner on those days when you just want to throw something together quickly.

    Now - when I think of chicken casseroles, I don't usually think of chicken parmesan.  I usually think of some sort of chicken/rice/"cream of whatever" soup/frozen vegetables concoction. Let me tell you - I have "cream of whatever" soups and my children aren't going to eat broccoli, no matter how much cheese and cream sauce you dump on it. I needed to get a little more creative.

    Chicken Parmesan is a favorite in our house (followed closely by my crockpot chicken tacos), so I knew that this recipe would make my family happy - and it was just such an easy chicken casserole recipe that I think that the next time that I make it, I am just going to line up a bunch of foil pans and make extras for the freezer (just like I did with my super easy macaroni & cheese recipe).  I saw some variations of this recipe online, but most of them involved starting with raw chicken and I didn't like the idea of all the rest of the ingredients basically boiling in the chicken juice/fat as it cooked.

    Super easy solution!  Use cooked chicken!

    To make my Chicken Parmesan Casserole, you will need:

    • 2 lbs cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (shredded or cubed)
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 2 cups prepared pasta sauce
    • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
    • 2 oz freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
    • 3.5-5 oz bag of croutons, crushed (I like the Texas Toast Garlic ones)

    Scroll down for the complete directions!
