Chicken Parmesan Noodle Bake

From:  Del Monte Pasta Sauce

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pkg. (12 oz.) extra wide noodles
1 can (26&1/2 oz.) Del Monte Mushroom Pasta Sauce
1c. (4 oz.)  shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4c. (1 oz.) grated parmesan cheese

Season chicken with salt and pepper, if desired.  Arrange chicken in 11x8-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 450℉ for 20 min. or until chicken is done; drain fat.  Remove chicken from dish; keep warm.  Cook noodles according to package directions; drain water.  Reserve 1c. pasta sauce and toss noodles with remaining sauce; place in baking dish.  Top with chicken.  Pour reserved sauce over chicken and sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 10 min. or until heated through and cheese is melted.  Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.  Makes 4 servings.

*For variations:  you may use other noodles.  You may also chop up the chicken into bite-size pieces and stir them in to make a casserole.   Also, you may try other pasta sauces or substitute mozzarella cheese with your favorite cheese.  Try seasoning the chicken with other seasonings before baking the chicken--get creative.
