Chicken Parmesan Casserole & Homemade Garlic Bread

Mhmm, mhmm, mhmm! 

That describes this dinner perfectly!

 


Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Ingredients:

• chicken breasts
• marinara sauce
• olive oil
• one clove of garlic, minced
• parmesan cheese
• mozzarella cheese
• croutons, crushed

Directions:

1. A dollop or so of oil olive poured into pan to coat the bottom. Toss in minced garlic clove and put in chicken breasts.
2. Cover chicken breasts with as much marinara sauce as you deem necessary.
3. Spread parmesan and mozzarella cheese over marinara sauce. 
4. Pour crushed croutons over cheese.
5. Spread more parmesan and mozzarella cheese over croutons.
6. Bake on 400°F for one hour and ten minutes, roughly for frozen chicken breasts. Cook for less time if using fresh chicken.

I used 2 8 oz. bags of mozzarella and 2 6 oz. bags of parmesan for this recipe. You can use less if you'd like. We're a cheese family, so the cheesier the better.

This was absolutely delicious and so, so simple! I will definitely be making this again - it was a hit!

Homemade Garlic Bread

Ingredients:

• Fresh baked bread
• butter
• clove of garlic, chopped
• dill weed

Directions:

1. Slice bread. For ten slices, I used 4 tbsp of melted butter and mixed in the chopped gloves of garlic.
2. Spread butter and garlic mixture onto both sides of bread.
3. Sprinkle dill weed on both sides of bread.
4. Bake on 400º for about 20 minutes or a little less, depending on how crunchy you like your garlic bread.

This was an incredibly simple dinner and I am so happy with the way it turned out. I was a bit worried, because I was cooking for someone who's favorite meal is chicken parmesan. This one was a hit with him, so you can be sure that it'll be a hit with anyone!

Enjoy!
