I am always looking for simple yet filling casserole type recipes to fix for busy weeknights. I found this recipe at our local grocery store. Delicious and very easy to make! Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces |
1 1/2 cups penne pasta, uncooked |
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves |
2 cups spaghetti sauce |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook pasta as directed on package. Cook and stir chicken and basil in large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium high heat 3 minutes. Stir in spaghetti sauce and tomatoes; bring to boil. Simmer on low heat 3 minutes or until chicken done.
2. Drain pasta mixture; return to pan. Stir in chicken mixture and 1/2 cup mozarella. Spoon into 2 qt casserole or 8 inch square baking dish.
3. Bake 20 minutes; top with remaining cheeses. Bake 3 minutes or until mozzarella is melted.
