today I'm going to show you how to make
0:01
a chicken parmesan casserole it is so
0:04
easy I'm going to take the dredging
0:06
stations out of this recipe but it's
0:09
still going to have that delicious
0:11
crunch from that chicken we're going to
0:13
let somebody else make it right here so
0:17
you want to make sure that you have a
0:19
package of breaded chicken strips that's
0:21
already cooked we're just going to heat
0:23
these up in the
0:25
oven now I'm making this recipe because
0:27
I'm trying to find recipes for my kids
0:29
that are really easy to make so they
0:31
don't have to whip up eggs put flour
0:34
bread crumbs you know and do all of that
0:36
and then fry up their chicken that'll
0:38
come later for them okay but right now
0:40
they need simple and easy
0:43
recipes this is what I'm using right
0:47
here we're going to cook these Pro the
0:49
directions on the back of the package
0:51
get them nice and crispy oh smells good
0:54
in there I'm going to open that
0:56
up leave them whole if you're using
0:59
these right here which are the chicken
1:01
strips you can use chicken patties you
1:04
can use chicken nuggets if you want to
1:06
use the grilled you can do the grilled
1:08
if you want to keep it healthier for
1:10
yourself that's totally fine make sure
1:12
you cook everything for the instructions
1:13
on the back of the package you want
1:15
about 12 oz total of your
1:22
chicken so two three six eight we'll go
1:25
one more I believe there we go right
1:27
there perfect we're wanting this to fit
1:30
into a 9x13 later in the recipe I just
1:33
finished up the bag there was three left
1:35
in here so I just put them on the pan
1:37
here now these cook about 24 minutes now
1:40
depending on what package you're using
1:42
is how much time you would put them in
1:44
the oven for and while these cook off in
1:47
the oven we're going to finish off the
1:49
rest of the steps and then put the whole
1:50
thing together like a casserole while
1:52
the chicken is cooking we're going to go
1:54
ahead and start cooking our pasta and
1:56
getting that ready also so I brought a
1:59
large pot of water to a boil I'm going
2:01
to add in about half a tablespoon of
2:04
salt we do want to flavor every
2:08
layer pasta I am using this cork screw
2:13
variety it's a Cava toppy it's a short
2:16
kind of pasta here if you don't have
2:18
this you can use any type of short pasta
2:20
that you want we're trying to keep
2:22
everything
2:26
bite-size all right let's see what we
2:28
got 16 oz 1
2:33
lb put that in we're going to cook this
2:36
Pro the directions on the back of the
2:38
package for Al
2:40
Dente this will cook for about 10
2:43
minutes I'm going to give this a mix for
2:46
about 30 seconds that'll help that pasta
2:49
not
2:52
stick what we're going to do now is
2:54
we're going to heat up our pasta sauce
2:57
I'm going to add 1 tbsp of some cooking
2:59
oil to a large
3:02
Skillet that was spraying
3:05
everywhere you can pour or spray from
3:08
this bottle there we go now I'm going to
3:11
heat that up and then we're going to add
3:12
a yellow onion and I'm just dicing it up
3:15
here that's something they can do they
3:17
know how to dice up an onion this will
3:19
add some flavor because we're going to
3:21
soften it
3:23
down and then add garlic to it
3:29
feel like you can cook anyway
3:32
right adding flavor is what it's all
3:39
about yeah the sizzle makes it all good
3:42
doesn't
3:43
it we're going to cook this for about 3
3:46
minutes until those onions get nice and
3:49
soft give be some nice
3:53
flavor you do not have to do this step
3:55
if you don't want to if you want to just
3:57
use your Jarred sauce I would heat that
3:59
up first first cuz that's one of the
4:00
layers of our casserole okay our onions
4:03
are nice and softened I'm going to add
4:05
the garlic we're going to cook it for 1
4:09
minute one
4:13
teaspoon stir this around for one
4:16
minute release that garlic into the
4:20
onion it'll help flavor the sauce
4:25
more now for this recipe you're going to
4:27
need 32 oz of your favorite sauce this
4:31
is
4:34
ours and we're going to add it
4:40
in all right I'm just going to heat this
4:42
through and then we're going to turn off
4:43
the
4:44
burner and I believe I'm going to add a
4:46
little bit of salt and pepper to
4:58
it grab you spoon and taste your
5:02
sauce this is going to flavor
5:09
everything that's good that's
5:13
good okay I've drained my pasta I'm
5:16
going to add it to the sauce and get it
5:17
nice and coated and we're going to add
5:20
one more thing to it while we're mixing
5:21
it all
5:24
together we've got some shredded
5:27
parmesan cheese we're going to add about
5:29
half a cup or
5:36
more and we're going to blend this all
5:42
together now if you have an oven proof
5:45
Skillet about this size here you can do
5:48
everything in the skillet I'm going to
5:51
be putting it into the baking dish here
5:53
and if you do this step then go ahead
5:55
and spray it with some non-stick cooking
5:57
spray I'm just going to spray it very
5:59
lightly
6:02
cuz it's a pretty good
6:04
nonstick casserole dish here um these
6:07
are the Caraway and these can be found
6:10

6:38
evenly okay we're going to top with
6:40
another half a cup of Parmesan cheese
