CHICKEN CAESAR PASTA RECIPE - (5/5)



Chicken Caesar Pasta Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by lisaS

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-1/2 box uncooked dried penne pasta
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 bottle creamy Caesar salad dressing (I like wishbone, also if u like it saucy u need more dressing)
3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 bags Mozzarella cheese, shredded (I like a lot of cheese)
1 bag Caesar-seasoned croutons
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350�F. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Meanwhile, combine some red pepper, scallions and half a bottle of dressing, chicken broth and some cheese and mix well. Add cooked pasta to the bowl, and mix together. Then add all remaining ingredients except croutons and Parmesan cheese in large bowl. Spoon pasta mixture into ungreased 2-quart casserole or throw away silver pan. Top with croutons and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and croutons are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your Caesar chicken pasta. Look for high-quality chicken breasts, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Make your own Caesar dressing: Homemade Caesar dressing is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought dressing. You can find a recipe for homemade Caesar dressing in the article.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just use plain lettuce in your Caesar chicken pasta. Add a variety of vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini, for a more flavorful and colorful dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and thyme, add a pop of flavor and color to Caesar chicken pasta. Garnish your dish with fresh herbs before serving.

Conclusion:

Caesar chicken pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch.
