Cheesy, saucy and the chicken bakes up in a delicious sauce under these garlic croutons and then those croutons turn into this crazy amazing cheesy mess of yum. I uh, know. That didn’t sound that good. A mess of yum? Who let’s me write about food?

Truly, the star of this Parmesan chicken casserole is those croutons. I am in love with them. I can’t stop waxing poetic about them and the cheese and how they bake up.
Please trust me and make this as soon as you can. I’m almost sad that summer is coming and we are going to be moving away from heavy meals like this and towards lighter fare. I’m looking forward to making Parmesan chicken casserole just one more time before the hot weather is here!
Happy cooking babes!
Love,
