I got this off the back of a can of tomato soup when I was in high school, and it soon became my little brother's favorite dinner.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 can(s) tomato soup, condensed
2 dash(es) pepper
1 dash(es) italian seasoning
1/2 box dry rotini
2 c grated mozzarella

Steps:

1. Cut the chicken breasts in half, trim the fat, and place them in a glass cooking dish.
2. Stir the pepper and Italian seasoning, to taste, into the tomato soup, but DO NOT add the water or milk. Pour the tomato soup mixture over the chicken, making sure to completely submerge the chicken.
3. Cook at 375 for an about an hour. Cut open a piece of chicken to check if it's done. Cook an extra 15 minutes, if there is any pink.
4. While the chicken is cooking, boil the rotini, according to the directions on the package.
5. As soon as you pull out the chicken, sprinkle the cheese on top. After the chicken is removed from the pan, the excess tomato soup becomes the sauce for the rotini.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This will help to ensure that your dish is safe to eat.
Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Serve the dish immediately. This will help to ensure that the pasta is hot and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Cheesy chicken and rotini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cheesy chicken and rotini a try.
