I like to use my own homemade breadcrumbs when I bread chicken.
I also prefer to bread large quantities of chicken at once and freeze it for easy weekday chicken Parmesan.
Rao’s marinara sauce is superb with this casserole and is worth the cost.
Make-Ahead Method
This casserole can be assembled up to 2 days ahead of time.
Before baking, let it sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Cover and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 25 more minutes.
Storage
Refrigerating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezing:
This pasta freezes well and reheats best if defrosted in the fridge overnight prior to microwaving or baking.
You may want to spoon additional sauce on it before reheating to prevent the pasta from becoming dry.
