Easy Chicken Parm Casserole

Today I was really wanting to eat some chicken parm but I did not feel like going to all the trouble of pounding out and breading chicken breasts. I had a box of chicken nuggets in the freezer so I decided to use them and throw together a casserole. This dish is super easy to make and the whole family will love it.
