  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 12 oz. linguine pasta

Sauce

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 20 oz. cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

Chicken and Cheese

  • 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set it aside.
  3. Make Sauce Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the freshly chopped parsley, cooked shredded chicken, and drained linguine to the sauce mixture. Stir everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated.
  5. Assemble Casserole: Pour the creamy pasta and chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the top.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with homemade mushroom sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save prep time.
  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms or peas for extra veggies.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
