Here is another great easy weeknight recipe from my daughter Ella. I love this segment of the blog where I get to teach my daughter the fun of cooking and she gets to make great dishes. I hope you have been enjoying my favorite segment on the blog  “Cooking with Ella“. I love the chance it gives me to cook with my youngest daughter, teaching her life long skills and the chance for us to grow and bond together. This week Ella wanted to try her hand at Chicken Parmesan Casserole Bake she learned some great cooking lessons. If you want to have some fun with your kids try some of Ella’s recipes here.This weeknight Chicken Parmesan Casserole Bake has all the flavors of your favorite Italian dish without all the mess of frying the cutlets.

Lesson learned by Ella while making her Chicken Parmesan Casserole Bake:

  1. Safe chicken handling skills and how to cut up chicken.
  2. How to make a casserole out of the ingredients for another meal.
  3. Different types of cheeses and how to grate them.
  4. How to use a paper plate to easily transfer cheese from grater to dish.

Method:   To make Chicken Parmesan Casserole Bake Ella greased the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. She added some garlic and spread it around. She then cut up the chicken and added to the dish. She poured on the marinara sauce and sprinkled it with Italian seasoning. Ella shredded the cheese and topped the  marinara with half of the cheeses. She added the croutons and finished with the remaining cheese and baked for 30-45 minutes.
