Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
  • 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (16-ounce) box dried spiral pasta
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 large fresh Roma tomato
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • sliced green onion for serving

Instructions

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet and crumble it. Set it aside
  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and fry them in the same skillet. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions and drain. Return the pasta to the pot and add the cooked chicken, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, chopped tomato, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until combined.
  • Pour into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with bacon and leftover cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any pasta in this casserole. Cook it al dente as it will continue to cook in the oven for another 20 minutes.
  • Almost all ingredients are interchangeable here. For example, instead of tomatoes, you can use corn or peas. Just toss them in boiling pasta 5 minutes before you drain it.
