Lastly, to add some pop of green and herby freshness, sprinkle on fresh basil before serving.

Haileigh needed to practice her knife skills for a test she was having in her food science and nutrition class, so I had her thinly slice the basil. I’d like think she inherited her knife skills from me. 😀 Anyhoo! THIS one-pan chicken parmesan casserole is SO good!!!!! My whole family loved it! Especially Malloree, my sometimes picky 12-year-old. And when she raves about something, I know it’s good.

I served this with a Caesar salad, but any green salad would be delicious.
