Dump and Bake Chicken Parm Casserole

This one's a satisfying, weeknight-easy bake! 

Ingredients:

4 cups penne

3 cups tomato sauce

3 cups water

a handful of chopped kale (optional)

salt, pepper, oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes

1 - 1 1/2 lb (about 680g) boneless chicken breast, cubed

1 1/2  cups shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup parmesan

1/2 - 1 cup Panko

fresh chopped basil

Oil a 13 X 9" baking dish.

Add penne, tomato sauce, water, kale, seasonings and cubed chicken to the baking dish and stir together. (Or if you find it easier, mix it all together in a bowl and dump into the dish).

Cover tightly with foil and bake at 425°F for 30 minutes.

Uncover, stir and top with mozzarella, Panko and parmesan.

Bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes.

Garnish with fresh basil.
