4. In a large skillet, saute chopped onion for about 5 minutes or until slightly golden. Add chicken cubes and continue to saute over medium heat until all edges of the chicken appear cooked. It is not necessary to fully cook the chicken at this time since it will cook in the oven.

6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Liberally grease a 9x13 inch baking dish (prefer butter). Place half of the ziti on the bottom of the dish. Then, evenly cover the ziti with the provolone cheese slices. Evenly spread the sour cream on top of the provolone. Spoon out half of the prepared sauce on top of the sour cream and spread evenly. Layer on the remaining ziti. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ziti and spoon on the remaining sauce mixture. Top evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
