- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for the topping), parmesan cheese, and thawed mixed vegetables. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and mix until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy chicken mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole for a bit of crunchy texture.
Top the casserole with the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and golden.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting Wheel of Fortunate Diners Chicken Pasta Casserole!
