EASY CHICKEN PARMESAN BAKE WITH TORTELLINI

Instructions

• Heat oven to 400°

• If using tortellini, add to a 13x9 casserole dish.
• Time for the sauce. If using 2 jars of marinara sauce for this dish, then you'll want to cover the tortellini with the sauce. This may take about a jar and a half (or more). Just make sure to reserve a little of the second jar for final touches at the end.
• If using a combo of marinara and diced tomatoes, then add tomatoes (juice & all) over the tortellini. Then, top with marinara sauce (3/4 jar) & reserve the rest of the jar for final touches.
• Place 4-6 chicken breasts directly on top of the tortellini & sauce (depending on size).
• Cut mozzarella ball into 1/4 inch slices & top the chicken with the slices.
• Add remaining marinara sauce around breasts & cover any pasta that's poking out.

• Cook for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165° degrees internal temp).
• NOTE: cover with foil if the mozzarella starts to brown too much.
• OPTIONAL: Use your own pasta as a side dish & omit the tortellini if you wish.
• If you do, then all you need to do is use one jar of marinara, the chicken, & the mozzarella.
