This Parmesan Chicken Casserole comes together in no time using only 6 ingredients! Flavorful, family approved, and a blog favorite!
Since my “Melt in your Mouth Chicken” has been such a hit with everyone, I decided to change it up just a bit and make it more into a casserole. Not too many changes to the original dish, mainly just the fact that instead of using whole chicken breasts, it is diced chicken, making it easier to serve over something! I served this over spaghetti noodles last week and the entire family was ranting and raving over how yummy this was.
The cooking time was less due to the chicken being cut up, the flavor was amazing, and the chicken was incredibly moist. The leftovers the next day were just as good, making this a meal I will definitely make again!!
If you want to make this a bit more healthy, you can use plain Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise. It works, but it doesn’t have as rich and creamy of a flavor! And yes, after several people telling me this isn’t really a “casserole”, I agree, however, since its cooked in a casserole pan….I ran with it, haha!
Serve over rice, pasta, in a lettuce wrap, or as is! Even perhaps cauliflower rice, zoodles, etc. for healthy options!

Hello! I don’t have Parmesan cheese, do you recommend another one that would do the trick? Thank you, I’m so eager to try this! 😀
Kristin says
Hmmmmm, its hard to think of a substitute for Parmesan, but maybe Romano?? Keep me posted what you end up using!!
Alice says
I copy the recipes and then paste on a Word Document and have no problem printing recipes.
Dj Sires says
This is very tasty! I have made this with leftover roasted chicken as well as raw. Baking the raw chicken on top of the already cooked pasta helped with the soupy issue. Actually, I liked it better, since I can’t stand dry pasta dishes. Crusty garlic bread and salad made a company worthy meal. Thanks!!!!
Kristin says
Yum! Great idea on adding cooked pasta to the bottom!!!

I will not be looking at this site any longer. Way to many ads on the page and it is very distracting when looking at recipes. Also I can’t print this the way I want. To many ads when trying to print and doesn’t let me print only the pages I want. Prints way to many. Not very impressed with the Web Site.
Kristin says
Yikes, so sorry you dislike the blog. I try to keep the ads to a minimum and not overcrowd the page. I will be sure to look into the ads right now. Also, for printing, if you click the printer friendly green button, you will be able to print it, convert to pdf, as well as also pin it, etc.
Again, sorry to see you leave the page!
Have a great day!

I think I will try uncooked rice on bottom to absorb the soup from this cassrole.
Kristin says
Great idea! Be sure to keep me posted on how it turns out!!

I made this a few times always a big hit in my house. I use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 greek yogurt. It is a little soupy but I drain some juices off and mux it with the pasta. I also have added some steamed broccoli to it before serving.
Kristin says
Great idea on 1/2 and 1/2, I will have to remember that next time!!
Kim says
It was delicious. I used mayo and cajun seasonings to go with black beans and rice side dish I was serving. Loved it!
Kristin says
So glad you enjoyed it! I love the idea of using Cajun Seasoning!! I may have to try that next time!
Clair says
I can’t believe people are moaning about the printer issue it would take you 1minute to make a note of ingredients and instructions it would take me longer to turn printer on wait for it to load up and then print ! Seriously ! Sounds like a great recipe is it very cheesy though as I’m not too keen on cheese.
Kristin says
Nope, this isn’t cheesy at all. If you want though, you can decrease the amount of Parmesan cheese in this recipe to make it to your tastes!! Enjoy!!
Lisa says
Has anyone tried cooking the pasta with the chicken? It would soak up all of the extra juices, but it may alter the cooking time some???
Kristin says
I’m curious about that as well, I will need to try that! If it works, I will let you know!!
Diane says
This looks delish – I might mix the chicken with the mayo/cheese & add mushrooms, then put it in the baking dish. If it’s too soupy, I’ll mix it into the cooked pasta. Had no problem printing, deleted the picture, printed on 1 page
Kristin says
Sounds great, be sure to let me know what you think! Enjoy!!
Ellen says
How many does this serve?
Kristin says
This recipe is 4 servings!!
Lisa says
Holy YUM!!! I doubled all of the mayo topping ingredients because I wanted a lot of “sauce” – and it worked perfectly. BIG flavors. Mix that “soupy” liquid that comes from the cooked chicken into your pasta – angel hair was great here. I also added an 8 oz package of sliced mushrooms on top of the chicken (under the Mayo mix). This would also be great with spinach and/or artichokes. Better than any restaurant meal!!
Kristin says
Yea!!! So glad you enjoyed this! Great idea doubling the mayo topping!!
Dj Sires says
If you copy and paste what you want, and just send that to yourself in an email, you can print that. No worries about wasted ink or paper! So…does that mean the recipe tasted badly? :-/ I was in a hurry, and just just cooked chicken with the other ingredients, and baked it on top of cooked spaghetti. A keeper for sure! Taste and appearance were both top notch! Thanks for the recipe.
Kristin says
So glad you enjoyed it!! Its a favorite in my house!!
Kara says
Loved it! I added broccoli when I cooked the pasta. Will make again.
Kristin says
Great idea on adding the broccoli! Glad you enjoyed this!!
Karen says
Made this the other night with rice and side of broccoli. Then the next day ate leftovers with pasta. Enjoyed the pasta more. Also threw the broccoli in with it. So Delicious!!! Definitely making it again. Thank you
Kristin says
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it!!!
