Fresh vegetables are best, but you can swap in a frozen pepper-and-onion blend if you need to cut down on prep time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> The combination of basil, oregano, parsley flakes, crushed red pepper flakes and garlic adds an Italian-inspired flavor profile to this casserole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato sauce:<\/strong> A tomato sauce comes together with undrained diced tomatoes, tomato paste and chicken broth.

If you don\u2019t have Romano cheese, you can use Parmesan instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the pasta<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Cook the pasta according to package directions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> When the pasta finishes cooking, drain the noodles but do not rinse them. Rinsing removes the starchy outer coating that helps the sauce cling to the pasta. If needed, you can toss the cooked noodles with a bit of olive oil or butter to keep them from sticking together.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Brown the chicken<\/h3>\n<p>While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chicken, onion, green pepper, red pepper, basil, oregano, parsley flakes, salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Saute until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the garlic, and cook for one minute longer.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Blend the tomatoes<\/h3>\n<p>In a blender, pulse the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, covered, until blended.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Blending the diced tomatoes makes the sauce smooth, but you can skip this step if you prefer a chunky tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Simmer the chicken and sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Add the blended tomatoes to the chicken mixture. Stir in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Layer the casserole<\/h3>\n<p>Drain the pasta, and toss it with the chicken mixture. Spoon half of the mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and Romano cheeses. Repeat the layers.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Bake the chicken pasta casserole<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1984370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chicken-Penne-Casserole_FT24_39334_0403_JR_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken Penne Casserole Ft24 39334 0403 Jr 3\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cover the baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes.

You can even make the casserole with all vegetables for a vegetarian pasta casserole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can you make chicken pasta casserole ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>To prepare this casserole ahead of time, assemble the dish but do not bake it. Cover the baking dish, and store it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove the dish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake as directed, adjusting the cooking time as needed for the casserole to heat through.<\/p>\n<p>You can also freeze unbaked chicken pasta casserole. Freeze the covered casserole for up to three months. To use the frozen casserole, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the dish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Then bake, covered, in a 350\u00b0 oven for 50 to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Chicken Pasta Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat the casserole in the microwave or a 350\u00b0 oven until warmed through.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Pasta Casserole Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1984369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chicken-Penne-Casserole_FT24_39334_0403_JR_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken Penne Casserole Ft24 39334 0403 Jr 2\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make chicken pasta casserole with rotisserie chicken?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have leftover or rotisserie chicken on hand, feel free to use it in this chicken pasta casserole recipe. You can replace 1 pound raw chicken with 2-1\/2 to 3 cups cooked chicken. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce when you add the drained pasta.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you cook pasta before baking chicken penne baked pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s best to cook the pasta before you bake this casserole. This recipe doesn\u2019t contain enough liquid to cook the noodles while the casserole bakes, so the pasta would taste raw and hard. It&#8217;s also important not to overcook the pasta before adding it to the casserole, or it will have a mushy texture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-pasta\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-pasta\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Cook the pasta<\/a> according to the package directions for al dente.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you add raw chicken to a baked chicken penne casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend cooking chicken before adding it to baked casseroles. Raw or undercooked chicken can contain harmful bacteria, so browning the chicken beforehand ensures <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/temperature-of-cooked-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/temperature-of-cooked-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">the chicken&#8217;s internal temperature<\/a> will reach 165\u00b0. Plus, cooking the chicken and vegetables with the sauce helps to develop layers of flavor that add to this casserole&#8217;s incredible taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my family\u2019s favorite every week or two and we never tire of it.
