Directions
Chicken and Penne Casserole, I have made this recipe using bone-on chicken pieces also, although you might have to adjust the cooking time slightly I double the crushed tomatoes to two cans when I make this, but that is optional, my family loves this casserole!, My family loved this, just a touch too much red pepper flakes I will make again!, Sooo yummy! I made a few adjustments to this recipe – first, instead of whole chicken breasts, I cubed about 1 1/2 pounds of chicken, and breaded them before cooking It made the dish taste like a chicken parm casserole! I also added chopped bell pepper to the sauce and used red wine instead of white I think next time, I’ll try either fresh tomatoes or canned diced instead of the can of stewed tomatoes – I’m just not a fan of the large, large chunks in the sauce used reduced fat mozz cheese and grated romano instead of parmesan (just a personal preference ) Overall, this is a wonderful recipe and I’ll definitely make it again It yields a LOT, so would be great for a large family or dinner party Otherwise, you may want to consider halving the recipe
