Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups diced uncooked chicken (about 2 small chicken breasts)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¾ tsp garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cups dry rotini pasta
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup (cream of chicken also works)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes.
  4. Add broccoli and cook 3–4 more minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat.
  5. Cook rotini to 1 minute less than al dente; drain.
  6. Stir cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, and sharp white cheddar into the chicken mixture.
  7. Add pasta and gently mix until combined.
  8. Transfer to a lightly greased 9×13-inch casserole dish if needed.
  9. Top with cheddar cheese, cover, and bake 25 minutes.
  10. Uncover, add crispy fried onions, and bake 8 more minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Leftover or rotisserie chicken can be used; skip the chicken cooking step and mix directly with remaining ingredients.
  • Avoid overcooking pasta to keep the casserole from becoming soft.
