Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Casserole image

This easy-to-make casserole was a hit at my house! I used leftovers for part of it, which is always a plus, and it all went together so well. As for the pasta, we had a mix of cooked bow ties, elbows and spirals and they worked great! My 16-month-old daughter loved it, and the leftovers reheated beautifully the next day. Hope you like it as much as we did!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ pound farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 pound fresh asparagus - tough ends snapped off and spears halved crosswise
cooking spray
3 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of asparagus soup
1 cup milk
2 cooked chicken breast halved - thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly firm, about 12 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  • Place asparagus into a large skillet with about 1 inch of water. Place over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Cover skillet and cook until asparagus pieces are bright green and tender, about 8 minutes; drain well and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk cream of asparagus soup with milk in a bowl until smooth.
  • Spread the cooked bow tie pasta over the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Pour about 1/4 of the soup mixture over the pasta, stirring gently to coat pasta with soup.
  • Lay chicken breast slices over pasta.
  • Spread the asparagus over the chicken slices.
  • Pour remaining soup mixture evenly over the casserole, being sure it soaks through to the bottom of the dish. Top casserole with shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and the cheese topping is browned and bubbling, about 35 minutes.
