Chicken Pasta Casserole

We are still trying to soak up as many warm nights outside as we possibly can before the weather turns ugly. As much as I love sweaters and chai tea weather I also love spending time outside by the fireplace.

This chicken pasta casserole is delish and perfect for any night of the week. It doesn't take a ton of time to make and the family will love it. You can easily add in more veggies if you want! Broccoli would taste amazing in this.

I know it may be a surprise that this isn't a crockpot recipe but I figured why not change it up a bit and share a recipe you can bake in the oven.
