How to Make Creamy Chicken Fusilli

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a medium-sized (approximately 9x13 inch) casserole dish.
  3. Cook 1 pound of fusilli pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 pound of cubed chicken breast, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until chicken is lightly browned.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped red bell pepper and 1 cup frozen peas. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Add 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Stir until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly.
  10. Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese) and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
