Easy and Delicious Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Sometimes you just need something cheesy and delicious for dinner. Something totally satisfying and filling. Maybe some chicken covered with tomato sauce and cheese baked on top of your favorite rotini pasta!

Chicken Parm Casserole!

Follow along with us as we make this easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole that is perfect for any night of the week.

Use about 3 cups of shredded leftover chicken for this recipe. If you do not have leftover chicken,  you can quickly boil your boneless chicken breasts in chicken broth.

To Boil Your Boneless Chicken Breasts Quickly –  For this recipe, use 1 lb. of boneless chicken breast.  Lightly salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts. Bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a light boil in a medium skillet with a lid. Place chicken in the broth; reduce heat and simmer for about 7-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.  Flip the chicken twice during cooking. Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred using two forks.
