GF-able Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ t crushed red pepper flakes (or more to taste if you want it hot)
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 2 cups tomato sauce with browned, minced garlic and oregano simmered in
  • 1 ½ cups 2% reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 oz Parmesan cheese, finely grated, divided
  • 3.5 oz garlic croutons, roughly crushed, leaving some larger.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.    
  2. Spread the cubed pieces of chicken across the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer. Sprinkle the minced garlic, red pepper flakes and basil evenly over the chicken. Spread the sauce evenly across the top. On top of the sauce layer, sprinkle ¾ cup of the Mozzarella and one ounce of the Parmesan evenly across the dish. Sprinkle the crushed croutons across the top and follow with the remaining cheese.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

NOTE: Make croutons with GF Artisan bread.
