THREE-CHEESE CHICKEN PASTA BAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Three-Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Terry M

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups dry high-fiber penne pasta or whole wheat penne pasta
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup spaghetti sauce
1 whole large egg plus 1 large egg white, beaten
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooled chicken breast

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Salt the water liberally, lower the heat to medium high, and add the pasta. Cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large bowl stir together the yogurt, cottage cheese, spaghetti sauce, egg and egg white, 1/2 cup parmesan, 1/4 cup mozzarella, garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Add the chicken and pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Pour the pasta mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Top evenly with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and 3/4 cup mozzarella. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a complex and flavorful dish. A good combination is a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • If you don't have chicken breasts on hand, you can substitute chicken thighs or tenders.
  • Be sure to season the chicken well before cooking. This will help to bring out the flavor of the chicken and make it more juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is simmering before adding the chicken and pasta. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Serve the dish immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken and pasta are hot and the sauce is creamy.

Conclusion:

Three-cheese chicken bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and cheesy topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
