Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (12 ounce) package rotini pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed and chopped
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, take a 13x9-inch baking dish and give it a light coating of non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
2
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the pot over high heat until it reaches boiling point. Cook rotini pasta in the boiling water for 8 minutes, or until it's cooked through but still retains some firmness when bitten into. Drain the pasta and transfer it to the prepared baking dish.
3
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced onions, chopped celery, and diced bell pepper to the melted butter and cook until they're softened and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes.
4
Mix milk, cream of mushroom soup, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a separate bowl. Add this mixture to the cooked onion mixture and stir until well combined. Reduce heat to a low setting and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; this should take about 5 minutes. Add cooked chicken and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese to the mixture, then remove it from heat immediately. Pour this sauce over the cooked rotini pasta in the baking dish.
5
Top the pasta and sauce mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 25 minutes.
