DUMP-AND-BAKE CHICKEN POT PIE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish (such as an 8-inch square pan or a small rectangular dish like I used) with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together condensed soup, milk, chicken broth, and thyme. Stir in onion, raw chicken, and uncooked pasta.
• Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Cover tightly and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove foil and stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Cover with foil, return to the oven and bake, covered, for 25-30 more minutes, or until pasta is tender and chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

CHICKEN-POTPIE PASTA

Steps:

• In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes less than package instructions. Add green beans and cook 3 minutes, then drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, celery, and carrots and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and season with salt and pepper.
• Stir pasta into chicken mixture.

BAKED CHICKEN POT PIE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9x13 casserole dish or baking pan.
• In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Season the chicken well with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Add to skillet and cook through, stirring often. Remove to a large bowl and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Cook 7-8 minutes, stirring often, stir in the peas and cook 2 more minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan to the bowl with the chicken.
• With heat on medium-low melt 3 tablespoons butter in the pan, whisk in the flour and cook 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken broth then the milk. Turn heat up to medium-high and bring to a simmer for 3 more minutes, stirring often.
• Add the chicken broth to the bowl with the chicken/vegetables and mix well, then mix in both cheeses.
• Pour the mixture into the buttered casserole and spread out evenly.
• Roll the pie crust out on a lightly floured surface to about 10-inches in diameter and cut circles out of it with a biscuit or cookie cutter. Arrange them over top of the pasta.
• Bake 30 - 35 minutes until the casserole is hot in the center and the crust is golden brown, if the crust starts to darken too much cover with aluminum foil. Let set 5 minutes before serving.
