Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch or deep 11 x 7-inch baking dish; set aside.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 1 minute less than package directions for al dente. Drain.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, condensed soups, sour cream, and broth. Add the chicken and the cooked pasta. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared dish. Top with grated cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- Boil the noodles in well-salted water. This is your opportunity to really season the pasta.
- Cook the noodles for 1 minute less than al dente. The noodles will continue to cook in the oven, so you want to slightly under-boil them so that they don't become mushy after baking.
- Use the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken for a shortcut. If you prefer to cook your own chicken at home, boil about 1 ½ lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). When cool enough to handle, chop into bite-size pieces or shred the chicken with forks and use in the recipe. You'll need a total of about 3 cups (more or less) shredded.
- Garnish the casserole with fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, basil, or oregano) for a bright, fresh touch. Sliced green onions or chives are also good!
- Cooking Just for Two? Cut all of the ingredients in half (using just one can of soup -- either flavor is fine), and bake the casserole in an 8-inch square dish. You may need to decrease the baking time by 5-10 minutes to account for the smaller pan.
- Swap out the chicken and use leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
- Add some veggies to the casserole. For instance, try some frozen peas, corn, canned sliced mushrooms, sauteed mushrooms, onions, or celery, or parboiled broccoli.
- Any long pasta shape will work. I typically use linguine, but spaghetti or fettuccini are also good options.
- Stir some fresh herbs into the pasta dish. For instance, try a little bit of thyme or rosemary, or garnish the dish with basil or chives.
- Add garlic powder or onion powder for even more of a flavor boost.
- Top the casserole with buttered panko breadcrumbs (or regular bread crumbs), Ritz cracker crumbs, crushed potato chips, or crushed Corn Flakes.
