Ziti with meatballs is pretty traditional.

It’s my own take on “chicken doggies” from central NY state in a baked version. I use sweet peppers instead of hot but you could do hot.


Sorry….Chicken Riggies.

Thanks! Meat sauce sounds like a great idea - I will do that instead of adding chicken.


Not OP, but oh goodness this looks good.

Grilled chicken will be boring in baked ziti... use Italian chicken sausage.

This sounds kinda gross, TBH. If you want the protein to be chicken, I would just make a meat sauce with ground chicken.

Wegman's has ground turkey sausage that I really like. Brown that and add it into your sauce.

Pretty much any casserole dish like this you cook the meat first.
