Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta is your answer to "what's for dinner" tonight! I love easy casserole recipes like this one. Prep this in the morning and pop it in the oven at dinnertime.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked and cubed chicken breasts (or use a rotisserie)
- 1 box (16 ounce) linguine noodles
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspon black pepper
- 5 ounce package fresh spinach
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
- Cook linguine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Cook for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cornstarch, mix thoroughly.
- Add chicken broth, heavy cream and milk, whisking quickly. Add salt and pepper. Heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spinach and parmesan cheese. Remove from heat. Pour sauce over cooked noodles. Add cooked chicken and pour into a large casserole dish (13x9 size). Top with mozzarella cheese. You can bake immediately, or cover with foil and place in refrigerator until dinner.
- If baking immediately, bake covered with foil for 350 degree for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until cheese is browned.
- If baking after the dish has been refrigerated, bake covered with foil in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes. ENJOY!
