Chicken Parm Bake

I have recently become obsessed with Pinterest and it has become such an amazing resource for...well everything! This was the 1st recipe that I pinned to my board and tried. It was SO GOOD! I did alter it from the original, and I might change it up a bit the next time but it really did taste like chicken parm, no frying and it couldnt have been easier. I did eat some croutons so next time I need to get 2 packages so I can eat some and make sure I have enough for a good top layer.

Cant wait to make this one again soon
