Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 large chicken breast, cooked and cubed
  • 3/4 cup caesar salad dressing of your choice creamy, not vinaigrette
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed mozzarella and sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup croutons homemade or garlic brand store bought
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add pasta and cook until tender with a bite, 8 to 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook chicken for 4 minutes; flip and cook until no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes more. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Mix pasta, chicken, Caesar dressing, chicken broth, green onion, and mozzarella together in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Top dish with croutons and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until croutons are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
