Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16 oz. linguine or spaghetti, cooked al dente
  • 2 cups diced/shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken, about 1 lb.
  • 2 (10.5 oz.) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 16 oz. sour cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. Add the cooked noodles and toss gently until fully mixed.
  4. Transfer to a greased 9×13 casserole dish and top with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Finish with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until bubbly and the cheese has melted.
  7. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Dish and serve hot garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The pasta will continue to cook in the oven so if you don’t like mushy pasta, try cooking it until it’s just at the al dente stage (firm with a bit of a bite or chew to it without being too hard or chalky).
  • If the sauce is too thick and dry when reheating leftovers, loosen it up with a splash of milk, stir to mix and reheat.
  • Substitute chicken – Substitute chicken with turkey for a healthier option.
  • Mix and match soups – Substitute two cans of cream of chicken soup with a mix like cream of chicken and mushroom.
  • Mix and match cheese – Combine mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack or Colby.
  • Add some veggies – Sneak in some veggies like peas, broccoli, or mushrooms.
  • Add more flavor – Throw in additional seasonings like Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes or onion powder for more flavor.
  • Add a buttery crisp topping – Substitute the cheese topping with a mix of panko, melted butter, Parmesan and fresh parsley.
