Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked skinless, boneless chicken, diced ( I usually use Tyson’s pre-cooked, grilled skinless, boneless chicken tenders)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups Zero Point Marinara Sauce ( omit the water from the recipe-to keep the sauce thick) or Prego no sugar added traditional pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup light mozzarella ( I use Market Pantry from Target)
  • 1/2 cup Progresso Italian Style bread crumbs or 1 tsp of Italian Seasonings and Panko bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp Land o’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil, melted
  • 10 oz. cooked Carba Nada fettuccine Noddles or whole wheat pasta, optional

      2. Place cooked chicken at the bottom of prepared dish in one single layer.
      3. Spread marinara sauce over the top of the chicken.
      4. Sprinkle the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the marinara sauce.
      5. In a small bowl mix together Panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasonings, dash of salt and pepper or Progresso Italian Style Breadcrumbs.
      6. Pour melted butter into the breadcrumbs. Stir until well combined.
      7. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
      8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven.
      9. Serve over 1 1/2 cups of cooked Carba Nada Fettuccine Noddles for 4 additional SmartPoints, if following the GREEN and BLUE plan. Serve over whole wheat pasta for Zero SmartPoints if following the PURPLE plan.
