The secret to this easy chicken parmesan casserole is crunchy croutons! www.nogettingoffthistrain.com

Are you guys ready for an amazingly easy dinner that only takes a few minutes of prep and feeds a ton of people? I found this recipe for chicken parmesan casserole and fell in love with it! I love chicken parmesan, but I didn’t like the idea of spending time breading the chicken and doing other complicated things. Can you believe it’s just as simple as sprinkling croutons over your mixture? It gives that crunchy texture that I love about chicken parmesan, but almost half the work! I tweaked the recipe based on what I had on hand.

Start off by greasing a 9×13 glass casserole dish, and spread out the chicken chunks and sprinkle the garlic on top. The original recipe calls for something like 6 chicken breasts, but I only used 1 large one. I think it was close to 2 pounds.

I cooked some spaghetti to go with it! This is one of my favorite recipes now, and is so easy to make. It’s cheesy, and still has the slight crunch of the croutons. I highly recommend it!
