Dump-and-Bake Skinny Chicken Parmesan Casserole

My Dump-and-Bake Skinny Chicken Parmesan Casserole is a one-dish dinner that�s nutritious, easy to prepare, and incredibly family-friendly! Just combine the raw ingredients in a pan and pop it in the oven � no prep work involved. Busy weeknights never tasted so good!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (13.25 ounce) package uncooked whole grain penne pasta (can substitute with rotini or other similar small pasta)
• 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
• 3 cups water
• 1 � lbs. raw chicken breast tenders (or thinly sliced chicken breast)
• 1 � cups reduced-fat shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend) cheese
• � cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup whole wheat Panko breadcrumbs or whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• Optional: fresh chopped herbs (such as basil, oregano, and parsley) for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Spray a 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add pasta, marinara sauce, and water to the dish and stir to combine. Place chicken in a single layer on top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. You want to make sure that your dish is covered tightly so that none of the moisture escapes (the pasta needs to absorb the liquid as it cooks). Bake the covered dish for 30 minutes
