This one’s affectionately known as ‘Nonna’s Best.’ It brings all the classic Italian flavors, and I’m always asked for the recipe!

Chicken parmesan casserole is a delightful, comforting dish that combines the robust flavors of Italian-inspired cuisine with the convenience of a casserole. Originating from the classic Chicken Parmesan, this recipe transforms the traditional elements of breaded chicken, tangy marinara sauce, and melted cheese into a one-pan wonder. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, serving as a heartwarming meal that can easily feed a family or be prepared ahead for gatherings. This recipe emphasizes both flavor and simplicity, making it an inviting option for both novice and seasoned cooks.

This chicken parmesan casserole pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad tossed with a light vinaigrette, which balances out the richness of the dish. A side of garlic bread or crusty Italian loaf is perfect for sopping up the delicious marinara sauce. For a more substantial meal, consider serving with a side of buttery pasta or steamed broccoli to add a touch of color and nutrition to your plate.
