Using Pre-Cooked Chicken

With the convenience of pre-cooked chicken, whipping up this delicious dish is a breeze. Pick up a rotisserie chicken from your local market and carefully shred its tender meat into bite-sized pieces. This chicken is already perfectly seasoned and tender, rendering it an ideal accompaniment to this casserole. You’ll require approximately four cups of material, equivalent to a single medium-sized chicken. You can easily substitute in pulled chicken from the deli or leftover chicken you’ve already chopped for added convenience.

Cooking The Noodles in Broth

This single-pot technique is both a time-efficient and a flavor-enhancing wonder. The key to perfect pasta lies in cooking it directly in a flavorful chicken broth. While skipping the cooking process saves time – no one has to worry about additional dishes – this approach also enhances the pasta’s flavor, making it a truly enjoyable meal.

As the pasta cooks, it liberates some of its inherent starch, thereby contributing to the sauce’s thickness. What’s your secret to whipping up silky smooth, indulgent desserts with ease? Instant comfort, no fuss, no muss. All the action unfolds within a single sphere of influence, reflecting our fondness for streamlined simplicity.

Occasionally stirring the mixture will prevent it from accumulating at the base of the skillet.

If your pasta appears parched and absorbs the liquid too rapidly, consider adding an extra dash of broth or water to maintain the dish’s flow.

Since it will bake in the oven later? Nobody wants mushy pasta, right?

Pan Options

Since it begins on the stovetop and concludes in the oven, this dish seamlessly transforms into a one-pot meal. Use a 3.5-quart braiser pan, an oven-safe, deep skillet, or a 6-quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven for this recipe.

If your non-oven-safe stovetop pan is a concern, you can simply transfer the dish to a different baking vessel that’s safe for high temperatures. Once the pasta has been thoroughly combined, transfer the mixture to a well-greased 9×13-inch baking dish, then top it with your desired cheese and place it in the oven for baking. While taking an additional step may lead to delectable outcomes,
