I have been away on business for a week and am back just in time to post a quick and easy recipe to my Friday Food Favorites. After a quick trip away, easy is something that is definitely in order!
I first tried this recipe at my friend Sarah’s home. She treated me to a wonderful luncheon and served this terrific light and delicious entree.
Easy Mac and Cheese Veggie Chicken Casserole
What you will need to make this terrific dish:
6 Tbs. melted butter, 1 cup 1% milk, 8 oz. Rotini pasta.
2 Cups diced cooked chicken (I drained 2 cans of chicken)
4 cups frozen vegetables, thawed (I used steamed fresh broccoli)
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers
1 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
Combine 4 Tbs. melted butter, milk, pasta, chicken, veggies and cheddar cheese in a medium bowl.
Place mixture into a small baking dish. The dish I used was 9×11.
Combine bread crumbs OR crushed crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 Tbs. of melted butter in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture on top of casserole.
Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.
This Easy Mac and Cheese Veggie Chicken Casserole makes enough for 6 servings – the perfect amount for a small luncheon – and so delicious!
