    Chicken Parmesan Casserole

    March 31, 2022 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Nothing says comfort food like noodles and chicken in a creamy parmesan sauce. Let's show grandma some love. (GF, DF, soy free, nut free, egg free)

    Making Chicken Parmesan Casserole

    Classic chicken parmesan casserole typically uses breaded chicken, marinara and noodles. Not this casserole! This casserole has a creamy sauce embedded among noodles and chicken! That's it!

    Serving

    This has been a classic recipe on our website for years! It makes about 12 servings and I've served it at a variety of events and functions including:

    • Group events
    • Family events
    • Weeknight meal for the family
    • New baby or sick meals
    • New neighbor meals

    Ingredients

    The ingredient list is so simple for this meal! All you need is:

    • Fettucine or spaghetti noodles
    • Cooked, diced chicken
    • Chicken broth
    • Whipping cream
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Butter
    • Flour
    • Pepper

    Substitutions

    It's very simple to make this casserole gluten or dairy free!

    • Fettucine or spaghetti noodles: Substitute your favorite gluten free noodles!
    • Whipping cream: I substitute Silk non dairy whipping cream.
    Silk Non Dairy Heavy Whipping Cream
    • Parmesan cheese: You can substitute dairy free parmesan cheese.

    Prep Time 15 mins
    Cook Time 15 mins
    Course Main Course
    Cuisine American
    Servings 12 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 13 oz uncooked fettucine or spaghetti noodles
    • ½ cup butter
    • ½ cup flour
    • 1-2 tsp pepper
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
    • 3-4 cups cooked, diced chicken breasts
    • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

    Instructions
     

    • Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
      In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and seasonings. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat.
      Stir in broth and cream. Return to heat, turn heat up to medium and continue stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for one minute. Turn heat off, stir in chicken and noodles.
      Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 or 11x14 inch pan. Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake casserole at 350 degrees for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the center is bubbly and cheese on the top is lightly browned.
      Fast option: If the casserole is still warm, I'll just put the casserole under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese on top is browned.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
