For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken pieces in the skillet before adding them to the pasta mixture. If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, dried parsley can be substituted. To make ahead, assemble the bake and refrigerate, covered, for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
