pasta / chicken recipe to prepare in advance?

I need recipes for pasta dishes…especially pasta / chicken combos that I can prepare in advance and bring with me to a potluck. Casserole type dishes would be great, but whatever.
PS. I would prefer to bring it warm to the potluck, but there will be provision to reheat my dish there.
HELP!

    If you are interested in chicken, you need to be cautious about keeping it out of the "danger zone" 40 -140 degrees F.

    I like Baked Chicken Parmesan, and it can be a good casserole.
    References :
    Ingredients: Serves 4-6
    2 chicken breasts
    1 egg
    2 cups bread crumbs (pre-bought or grind some crutons)
    1 tsp Italian dry seasoning
    1 jar spaghetti sauce (use your favorite)
    2 cups or so mozzarella cheese
    1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
    4 servings of cooked spaghetti

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pound chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thick and feel free to cut the chicken into small pieces (bite sized). Dip chicken in beaten egg then dip in bread crumbs mixed with Italian seasoning. Spread 1/2 the jar of sauce on bottom of 13×9 inch baking pan. Place coated chicken in coated pan. Cover and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is definitely cooked through (no pink). Allow the pan to cool a bit.
    While the chicken is baking, boil the spaghetti noodles to al dente.
    Once the chicken pan has cooled so that you can touch it, mix the noodles and the other 1/2 jar of sauce in a bowl, then transfer the coated noodles and remaining sauce into the baking dish with the chicken, and mix to combine. Turn your oven down to about 200 degrees F and put the chicken in the oven to keep it warm.
    Just before serving, top your casserole with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
    Good Luck!
