Week 4 - Ben's Birthday Post! Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Yesterday was Ben's birthday, so I was looking for something to make for his birthday dinner. He loves chicken parmesan, but I wanted to make something a little different. I did make something similar to this, but this came out much better.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole - http://www.emilybites.com/2012/12/chicken-parmesan-casserole.html

Ingredients:
2 lbs raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 cups marinara/pasta sauce 
1 ½ cups 2% reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 oz Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (I used the smallest holed side of my box grater), divided
3.5 oz garlic croutons, roughly crushed, leaving some larger pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Spread the cubed pieces of chicken across the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer. 

Spread the sauce evenly across the top.

On top of the sauce layer, sprinkle ¾ cup of the Mozzarella and one ounce of the Parmesan evenly across the dish. 

Sprinkle the crushed croutons across the top and follow with the remaining cheese. 

Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

I served with pasta and garlic bread. It was very delicious and easy to make!! 

Happy Birthday to Ben!!!
