Baked Three Cheese Chicken Pasta - a Make Ahead Meal
Author: Laura
Serves: 6-8
- 2 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
- 2½ cups whole wheat pasta
- 3 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (add more if you like)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- In a large cooking pot, combine cooked chicken, uncooked pasta, milk, garlic powder, and sea salt.
- Cook and stir over medium-high heat until pasta is tender and the starch from the pasta has thickened the milk, creating a creamy sauce.
- Remove cooking pot from the heat.
- Stir in parmesan cheese and cream cheese until it is mixed throughout.
- Pour pasta mixture into a casserole dish. (A 9x13 inch pan works well, or any variety similar in size.)
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and bake in a 350° oven for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
