Here’s a tasty and easy Parmesan Chicken Casserole recipe—crispy, cheesy, and perfect for a family dinner! 🍗🧀
🍗 Parmesan Chicken Casserole
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or cubed
- 2 cups cooked pasta (penne, rotini, or macaroni)
- 1 cup marinara or tomato sauce
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 cup breadcrumbs for topping
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix casserole
- In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, pasta, marinara, sour cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until evenly mixed.
- Assemble
- Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella on top.
- Optional: Mix breadcrumbs with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle over the top for extra crunch.
- Bake
- Bake 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
- Serve
- Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken to make this faster.
- You can swap marinara for Alfredo sauce for a creamy variation.
- Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra nutrition.
I can also give a “one-pan, quick version” where you cook everything together on the stove before baking—super fast and just as cheesy.
