Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Ingredients

2 lbs raw chicken breasts, cubed into bite size pieces

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil

25 oz jar marinara sauce

3 cups shredded mozzarella, divided

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided

5 oz bag garlic croutons roughly crushed (leaving some bigger pieces)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 9×13 casserole dish. Spread cubed raw chicken in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and basil evenly over chicken. Pour sauce evenly over the top. Combine the cheeses and sprinkle half over the top of the sauce. Top with crushed croutons and then the rest of the cheese mixture.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes more. If the top starts to get too brown, cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
