Came up with this easy recipe when looking for something just a little bit different. Smells divine while cooking, tasty and comes together quickly. Although I used macaroni noodles, any kind of pasta you like can be used. Enjoy! *Tip - To easily cut up boneless chicken, partially freeze it first and use a sharp smooth (non-serrated) knife.* Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package macaroni noodles |
1 cup dry breadcrumbs |
2 teaspoons italian seasoning |
1/3 cup dry parmesan cheese |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon butter |
3 cups marinara sauce, divided |
1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta, drain.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Heat butter and olive oil together gently over medium heat.
4. While noodles are cooking, mix bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese in a large ziplock bag or bowl with tight-fitting lid.
5. Place diced chicken in the bag or bowl and shake vigorously, coating chicken with bread mixture.
6. Cook chicken in butter/oil mixture until cooked through, and browned on all sides. (about 10 minutes).
7. Layer baking dish with noodles, 1/2 sauce, 1/2 shredded cheese, chicken, remaining sauce, remaining cheese.
8. Bake 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
