Family Approved! This chicken parmesan casserole is one of my favorite hearty weeknight meals! Made with chicken, pasta, cheese, and more. You won't believe how easy this recipe is to make or how fast it gets devoured!

There’s one thing that is for certain about this chicken parmesan casserole recipe. (Okay, maybe more than that…but you get my point) You’re not going to find a casserole recipe more simple than this.

If you’re looking for a simple weeknight meal that will feed your hunger and fuel your body, this baked chicken parmesan casserole is what you need to make.

ONE-POT CHICKEN PARMESAN CASSEROLE RECIPE

Can we just all agree that making meals in one simple pot is the way that cooking should be? I’m over washing 20 dishes to make a meal that we devour in less than 20 minutes. Anyone else?

Once you make the realization that easy dinner recipes exist, your life is never going to be the same.

CAN YOU USE FLOUR NOODLES INSTEAD OF EGG NOODLES FOR THIS RECIPE?

You can! We like to use egg noodles in our house because they’re so simple and aren’t chocked full of a ton of ingredients but you can easily use whatever type of noodles you have at home. No reason to make a special trip to the store if you don’t have to.

WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN CASSEROLE?

Egg noodles

Marinara sauce (I like to use Arrabiatta for the extra flavor!)

Water

Boneless skinless chicken breasts

Shredded mozzarella cheese – More cheese makes everything better!

Shredded parmesan cheese – You can also use fresh parmesan cheese but this is easier to use.

Italian breadcrumbs – Regular bread crumbs would work as well.

Chopped parsley

HOW DO I MAKE BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN CASSEROLE?

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish. 

Add chicken to a medium-sized bowl and top with breadcrumbs.

Cover tightly with foil and place into the oven for 30 minutes.

OPTIONAL: Turn the broiler on HIGH and carefully watch and allow the cheese to brown as desired. 

Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

WHAT SIDE DISHES GO WELL WITH CASSEROLE?

Sometimes, it’s hard to think about pairing anything up with a casserole dish because it feels like such a complete meal already. But keep in mind that you can easily pair up a salad or any type of steamed veggies as a simple and delicious addition without worry.

I hope that you love this simple casserole recipe and it becomes a staple in your household. We’re pretty crazy about it because it’s just that good.

      No, you add everything together like on the recipe card, then cover and bake. 🙂

    Can I use chicken that I have already cooked and shredded? If so, how long should I cook it?

      You could, but I would probably add it in later in the cook time. The time is relevant to having the pasta cook fully as well. I might would condider adding it in the last 10 minutes of baking time since it is already cooked and shredded. It probably won’t taste the same because it won’t have the breading with the chicken. But you might like it!
