Ingredients for Baked Rotini With Chicken And Mushrooms

  • Tri Color Spiral Pasta
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup butter

How to Make Baked Rotini With Chicken And Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook 1 pound rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, cook 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can pan-fry, bake, or grill them until cooked through. Once cooked, slice or dice the chicken.
  3. In a large bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
  4. Add 2/3 of a 10-ounce jar of mushroom sauce to the butter mixture and mix well.
  5. Drain one 8-ounce can of sliced mushrooms and add them to the pasta in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Add the cooked chicken to the pasta and mushrooms.
  7. Pour the butter, garlic salt, and mushroom sauce mixture over the pasta, chicken, and mushrooms. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining 1/3 of the mushroom sauce.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
