Layered Pasta with Chicken

Okay I already made a small fajita lunch for 2 with my store bought rotisserie chicken. Tonight I thought I'd try something new and easy for dinner. I made two of this dish, one for me and one for my friend. I would also point out another thing. A Cooper quirk if you will--we are not hearty eaters. My store bought chicken will last more than another family mostly because we don't celebrate it. So if you are not little birds like we Coops then add more chicken to the recipe.

Layered Pasta with Chicken

1 package of penne cooked according to the directions
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce (either red or white whatever you choose will give a different feel to the dish) or make your own--you'll need about 3 cups.
1/2 cup of chopped rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup chopped prosciutto
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 shredded Parmesan

Heat oven to 350. Spray a casserole pan with Pam and start to layer. Put down a thin layer of sauce, then pile on half the penne. Then more sauce, the chicken and some of the half of the cheeses. More sauce, rest of the penne, the prosciutto and the remaining sauce and the sun dried tomatoes. Then top with remaining cheese and cover. Put in the oven for 25 min covered then uncover and cook for 20 more. Serve immediately.
