Ingredients
Scale
12 oz pasta (penne or rotini work best)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 ½ cups milk
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Cook the Pasta:
Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a large skillet over medium heat, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Combine Ingredients:
Stir in the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables into the sauce. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is heated through.
Mix in the Pasta:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Add Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Optional Breadcrumb Topping:
For a crispy topping, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top and place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy:
Dish out the pasta and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy, comforting meal!
Notes
You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
Feel free to swap the mixed vegetables for other favorites like green beans or peas and carrots.
For a lighter version, use a lower-fat cream of chicken soup and milk.
