Stovetop Chicken Rotini Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package rotini pasta
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with water, adding a moderate amount of salt to the mixture. Bring the water to its boiling point and then introduce your pasta into it. Allow it to cook until it reaches the ideal level of firmness, typically taking 8 to 10 minutes; once done, carefully drain the excess water and set it aside for later use.
2
In a separate saucepan, combine half-and-half and butter over medium heat. Gradually warm the mixture gently, stirring constantly, until it has reduced to 1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cups. Remove the saucepan from the heat source; whisk in cheese, basil, oregano, chives, and parsley. Cover the pan with a lid and set it aside to await its incorporation into the final dish.
3
In a large skillet, cook chicken until it is lightly browned on both sides. Introduce bell peppers into the skillet and continue cooking until they are tender, while ensuring the chicken is no longer pink in its center.
4
Combine your cooked pasta with the chicken mixture and sauce in a casserole dish. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution of flavors; serve the dish immediately to preserve its freshness and optimal taste.
