Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fusilli pasta
  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables carrots, peas, corn, green beans
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Cook the fusilli pasta in salted water until just al dente (about 2 minutes less than package directions). Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, onion, and garlic.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed soup, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of shredded cheese, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Add the pasta to the chicken and vegetable mixture, then pour in the creamy sauce. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the casserole, followed by the buttered breadcrumbs.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
