  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Main Dish, Chicken, Casseroles

 Ingredients List

  • 1 can (24 ounces) garlic & herb flavored spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 and 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs, separated
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: fresh parsley

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

2. Combine the spaghetti sauce, quinoa, and water into the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

3. Slice the chicken into small tenderloins.

4. Combine 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Wet the chicken tenderloins (just in water) and toss them in this mixture until all of the mixture is covering the chicken tenderloins.

5. Evenly place the chicken on top of the quinoa and spaghetti sauce mixture.

6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven, stir everything together well, and return to the oven.

7. Cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is absorbed in the liquid and the chicken is completely cooked through.

8. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.

9. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melty on top.

10. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
