Worked up an easy version of sort of a kind of chicken parmesan last night.
In a baking dish, pour in some pasta noodles, preferably penne or rigatone. Add a jar of marinara sauce and equal parts water. Cut up some chicken breast, as much as little as you want. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and whatever else you want.
Stir it together, cover and bake at 425 for 30 minutes
Take it out and cover with mozzarella, Panko Bread crumbs, some melted butter over the bread crumbs, then a layer of parmesan.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes at 425, or until cheese starts browning up.
I did some garlic butter bread sticks with it. It's simple, and slap yo Italian mama good.
