Baked Chicken Parmesan

There’s a local restaurant my husband and I go to frequently. One of my favorite things on the menu there is Chicken Parmesan. Baked Chicken Parmesan is my twist on that dish. I use baked chicken instead of fried to make it a little healthier and a lot easier to make without giving up any of the flavor.

Baked Chicken Parmesan Hero

This recipe calls for baked, chopped chicken. To prepare the chicken season it with salt and pepper and then place it in a preheated 350º oven. Once the chicken is in the oven I start the pasta and let it cook while preparing the sauce.

The sauce is easy to make. In a large bowl combine diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, and sugar. Add cooked pasta and chicken to bowl and mix until evenly coated.

Transfer mixture into a prepared casserole dish and place in a preheated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. After removing the pasta from the oven sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve with a side salad and warm crusty bread.

Thank you so much for reading! Are you following New South Charm on Facebook? I’d love to hear from you; drop by and say hello!

    Looks yummy. This may be on the Italian dinner plan we have for our family on Christmas Eve. It’s Italian this year.

      Thanks Debbie! It’s a great dish and it can defiantly feed a crowd. I like your family tradition of Italian food on Christmas Eve. I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. I might have to try that out next year.

      Thanks again,

      Susanne
