  • 2 28 ounce jars marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 9x13 casserole dishes with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauce, cooked ziti, Parmesan cheese, and chicken. Transfer to the two casserole dishes, dividing evenly, and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese has melted.
  • How to freeze:  After assembling, cover tightly with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. If using glass baking dishes, place them on the counter as the oven preheats. Remove the aluminum foil. Follow the above instructions to bake.
