I am so excited to share this Easy Cheesy Chicken Pasta Casserole Recipe! I don’t know about you but life seems a bit hectic and crazy right now. I am always trying to make dinner as quickly as I possibly can before we head out to do something else.

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.
