Restaurant chain Noodles & Company is all set to launch its new dish called Chicken Parmesan across the US.

The dish will initially be available for purchase for all Noodles Rewards members, before being rolled out to all guests on 20 September.

The restaurant brand claims that its latest menu innovation is made with penne noodles, marinara sauce, crispy parmesan-crusted chicken, and melted mozzarella cheese.

Noodles & Company culinary vice-president and executive chef Nick Graff said: “Innovation is at the core of everything we do at Noodles & Company and we're proud to bring a fresh, uncommonly good perspective to a beloved pasta dish.

“We've been serving made-to-order pastas from around the world since we opened our doors nearly 30 years ago, however, this is the first time we've offered our guests a baked entrée.

“We are excited for our Chicken Parmesan to further our commitment to nourish and inspire our guests with fresh, handcrafted dishes at an approachable price point.”

The brand noted that its new Chicken Parmesan is made-to-order and baked to perfection for every guest and is available for a limited time period.

Noodles & Company added that its new Chicken Parmesan is the brand's first-ever baked dish, bringing "cheesy, saucy, and crispy together in one offering".

In June this year, Noodles & Company added four new stuffed pasta dishes to its menu.
