Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

This casserole was born out of me trying to figure out something to make without having to go to the grocery store. I really wasn’t expecting it to turn into something I would make again, let alone post about. But, it turned out really well and was super easy. I had chicken in the freezer, spaghetti and pasta sauce in the pantry, and cheese in the refrigerator, so I combined them all into a great comfort-food dinner

As I said before, I had pasta sauce in the pantry, which was totally a fluke, since I usually make my own. It had been buy one get one free at the grocery store, and I had not been able to resist. I had also not used it, but this was the perfect opportunity. So, if you have a favorite store bought or homemade, use it. Or if you want homemade and need a recipe, here is my favorite

Ingredients

1 13.5 ounce package spaghetti (I used whole grain.)

11/2 - 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 1/2 cups marinara or pasta sauce

3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cups Parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions

Cook pasta in boiling water until it just al dente.

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces.

Stir together pasta, chicken, sauce, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/2 cup Parmesan.

Place in a 9"x13" glass baking dish.

Top with remaining cheeses.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and browned, and chicken is cooked through
