Everyone loves a good Bubble Up recipe, and this Chicken Parmesan Casserole is no exception. If you’re thinking, “What’s a bubble up?” let me put you on to your new favorite weeknight dinner. It’s a term given to a casserole dish that requires a biscuit dough, and as the casserole bakes, the biscuits “bubble up”. Bubble Up Casseroles are easy to put together and make great family meals.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole is hearty and full of cheese! It makes a full six servings, so you can make it for a large family and everyone will be satisfied. It’s healthy as well, even with the biscuits added. One serving is under 250 calories!

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!

It’s flavorful but low in calories.

As previously stated, Chicken Parmesan Casserole is low in points. But with the cheese, tangy tomato sauce, and Italian seasoning, it’s not lacking in flavor.

It’s easy to lower the Weight Watchers points.

By making zero-point tomato sauce, you can lower the points of each serving. If you don’t have the time, store-bought pasta sauce works well too. See the Tips and Tricks below for more info.

The family will love it.

No one will say no to chicken parmesan and baked biscuits! That is essentially what this casserole is – just a lightened-up version. And no one has to know it’s healthy.

Ingredients you need to make Chicken Parmesan Casserole:

7.5 oz package biscuit dough (The Walmart Great Value brand comes in a 4 pack of 10 small biscuits each pack).
10 oz cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup diced peppers (optional – add mushrooms, onions or any other veggie)
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2.5 cups pasta sauce *See Tip and Tricks
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

How to make Chicken Parmesan Casserole (step by step):

Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a 9×13 dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut the 10 small biscuits (7.5 oz of dough) into 6 pieces each, so you get 60 pieces in total. Place the biscuit pieces in a ziplock bag and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese over top. Shake the biscuits in the bag until coated with the parmesan cheese. Place the biscuit pieces in the bottom of the dish, and sprinkle any leftover cheese from the bag over the biscuits.
In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, tomato sauce, peppers, and remaining 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese and mix well.
Spoon the chicken mixture onto the biscuits and top with ¼ cup of the shredded parmesan. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top.
Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven, take off the foil, sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded parmesan on top, and return to oven for 15 minutes.
Cut the casserole into 6 equal servings and serve warm. Enjoy!
