Baked Parmesan Chicken Casserole

 I saw a video on this dish somewhere… I’m not sure if it was online or on TV. This is one of the first western dish I made for my hubby. A super simple, short cut method for making the traditional Parmesan chicken. Honestly, this is an awesome casserole for beginner/new cook to make. It’s so simple, and so straight forward, you can hardly screw it up.

Ingredients (Serves 3-4)

• 1/4 cup chopped basil 
• 1 bottle pasta sauce
• 350g chicken tenders
• 1 pack of Italian Seasoned Croutons
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp crush red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
• Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 180C.
Spread EVOO, garlic, red pepper, and chopped basil on the base.

Lay out the chicken tenders evenly, then season with a little salt and pepper.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese.

Pour pasta sauce on top to cover chicken.

Top with croutons.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake for about 25 – 30mins or until chicken is done, and cheese slightly browned.

Allow to cool for 10 mins before cutting into it.
Serve with side salad.

Bon appetit!!
