Ingredients
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I used Campbell’s Healthy Request)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
- ½ lb. raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ½ cups dry uncooked penne pasta (about 5 ounces dry)
- ¼ cup sour cream, at room temperature
- ½ cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- Optional garnish: grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together condensed soup, milk, chicken broth, thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Stir in mushrooms, raw chicken, and uncooked pasta.
- Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes (until pasta is almost tender).
- Remove foil and give everything a stir in the dish. Stir in sour cream, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top.
- Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 5 more minutes, or until pasta is tender, chicken is cooked through, and cheese is melted.
- Let the dish stand for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Pick up a container of pre-sliced fresh mushrooms for even quicker prep -- no cleaning or cutting required! White button mushrooms, baby bella mushrooms, and cremini mushrooms will all work.
- Make sure that the sour cream is at room temperature (not too cold) when you stir it into the dish. This will ensure that the sour cream blends smoothly into the sauce and doesn't "break" or separate when it hits the hot casserole.
- Total cooking time will vary depending on the type of pan that you use and on your individual oven. A glass or ceramic casserole dish will take longer than metal pans, for instance. To know when your casserole is done, taste a bite of the pasta. The noodles should be tender and most of the liquid should be absorbed.
