CHICKEN PARMESAN PASTA CASSEROLE
Perfect for potluck meals, family gatherings, or in a smaller batch, for a winter comfort food meal for the family. Just my take on traditional Chicken Parmesan. I came up with this for my wife's corporate potluck lunch. She wanted Chicken Parmesan, but it was too difficult to feed 20 people the conventional way. Figured a casserole would work just as well. It did!

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Mix the garlic powder into the bread crumbs. Working in batches, coat the chicken breast in the flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Carefully fry the coated chicken in the hot oil in small batches until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the fried chicken over paper towels.
- Combine cooked pasta, fried chicken, 1/2 package of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Stir in the marinara sauce. Pour the red wine into the empty marinara sauce jar; cover and shake the jar, and empty the contents into the bowl of pasta. Stir to combine. Spread pasta mixture in a large casserole dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 package of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven, and continue baking until the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. High-quality ingredients will elevate the flavor of your chicken parmesan casserole.
- Choose a Good Quality Marinara Sauce: The marinara sauce is a key component of this dish, so be sure to use a flavorful, authentic sauce. If you have the time, making your own marinara sauce is a great option.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken that is overcooked will become dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Use Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese has a much better flavor than pre-grated cheese. If you can, grate your own Parmesan cheese just before using it.
- Don't Skimp on the Cheese: Chicken parmesan is all about the cheese, so be generous when you're adding it to the casserole. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of Parmesan cheese per 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Let the Casserole Rest Before Serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to firm up slightly. Let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Chicken parmesan casserole is a delicious, comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its crispy chicken, flavorful marinara sauce, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give chicken parmesan casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
