Chicken Baked Ziti

This recipe is a new creation of sorts & I have to say, it is one of the tastiest dishes I've cooked in a while.  I wanted to use up some food I had in the fridge & pantry, so I typed my ingredients into Supercook, and while I didn't find an exact recipe for what I wanted to eat, I got some ideas and fell into cooking.  I had 2 chicken breasts, so I decided to make just enough for me & Stephen to eat that night.  However, this recipe ended up being plenty for leftovers as well.
CHICKEN BAKED ZITI
2 chicken breasts, cooked & sliced
1/2 box of penne pasta, cooked & drained
1/2 jar of pasta sauce
1 package mozzarella cheese (I had slices, so I cut all but 4 slices into small pieces- you could obviously use shredded cheese too)
*parmesan- I didn't end up using this ingredient, but you could easily put it on top before baking

Combine chicken, pasta, sauce & pieces of mozzarella in a baking dish.
Top mixture with slices of mozzarella
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
