My kids love Chicken Parmesan. I do too, but I don’t always have the time to make it. This dish combines the flavors of the classic dish, but is super speedy and perfect for a weeknight meal. I know a lot of people are not fans of casseroles. I have always loved them for feeding my family. All you have to do is add a salad and some bread and you’re done. I love how most can be made ahead of time and baked when you’re ready to eat. This one is a perfect use for leftover baked chicken and I usually have all of the other ingredients on hand.

That looks delicious! I don’t know who you’ve been talking to… I say you can’t beat a good casserole! 😉
Oh YUM! That combo of awesome flavors sounds perfect.
This looks like it will be a family favorite! Btw do you realize that you have chicken recipes under the cake & cupcake category? Had to giggle at that!
