This creamy casserole combines tender rotisserie chicken, gooey cheese, perfectly cooked pasta, and a rich sauce for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 12 ounces penne pasta, cooked al dente
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, stopping just short of al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, cooked pasta, and sautéed onion and garlic in a large bowl. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy cheese, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Slightly undercook the pasta to allow it to absorb the sauce while baking. Customize toppings with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers for added texture.
