Another of my kids favorites! I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and tweeked it a bit. The result has become a staple in our house! Tip: I often make this, put into two small casserole dishes, and freeze one. To bake after frozen, bake covered at 300 for an hour, then 400 for ½ hour and then 15 min uncovered.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Organic or free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful pasta will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Vegetables add color, flavor, and texture to the dish. Try using a mix of fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. The recipe is a great starting point, but you can customize it to your liking. Try adding different herbs, spices, or cheeses.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
