If you are looking for a kid friendly dinner that comes together super quick and bakes up in under 30 minutes then look no further. This Chicken Parmesan Casserole was a big hit with Little Man. He requested a second serving and also wanted more the following night for dinner.
If you are following a low carb diet feel free to leave the pasta out and serve the chicken over zucchini or other veggies instead. It's delicious on it's own.
This casserole became an instant family favorite and new comfort food.
Next time I'm going to serve this with a caesar salad. Already looking forward to making this one again.
