Baked Cheesy Chicken Penne

Oh, I also used rotisserie chicken which made it super easy!!

This turned out awful!!! Like noodles in flour paste. Ugh! What a waste of money. Not sure what I did wrong!? I didn’t separate the batches, I just cooked it all in the Dutch oven. Could that be the problem?

I made this last night but instead of Provolone cheese, I used swiss. I used fresh tomatoes, and I left out the mushrooms. I halved the recipe, added a little more, and I added Cajun seasoning. I know I made ALOT of changes but it was still amazing! I felt a little blan before I added the Cajun seasoning. But over all an awesome recipe. I’m sure I would like the original recipe but my crew is a picky one.

This was so good! The family loved it. Will definitely make it again – but the sun-dried tomatoes got a thumbs-down from my crew. So next time it will be minus the tomatoes. It will make the dish $5 cheaper, too! Always a plus!

This was delicious but I would double the penne pasta — there was a lot of sauce. I also added a bag of broccoli to give it some bulk!! Delicious!!

This dish is delicious! I substituted broccoli for the mushrooms and sharp cheddar for the provolone. I also just sliced up a regular tomato bc I didn’t have sun-dried. My only problem is that it makes too much for someone who cooks for herself only but too much is never really a big problem when you have a freezer. 🙂 (It took me about 2 hours total to prepare and cook this meal)

Made this tonight and was soooo good! Thanks for sharing it! I got nervous making it when was putting the pasta into the dish because it was not thick. Turned out great even past my insecurity as a beginner at cooking!

Just made this recipe and it was good, though it was lacking something. I followed it exactly as was said, only halving everything so it made one dish instead of two and while it was really good, there was just.. I don’t know we’re still trying to figure out what but it was missing something in the taste. It wasn’t salt but something similar, just something more to make it pop.

can this entire recipe be cut in half?

WOW…I guess you shouldnt even be looking at recipes,,just go to resturants..ever here that saying \if you have nothing good to say ,dont say anything..lesson of the day for you

Doesn’t turn out like the picture…. The sauce is way too thick but this is an extremely cheesy dish. Just go to Olive Garden.

Made use of what I had, which included 2 cups lowfat milk and 1 cup lowfat condensed milk (made 1/2 recipe), mozarella cheese, & zucchini (in addition to mushroom) & no tomatoes since I didn’t have any. Seasoned chicken with garlic salt and italian seasoning. It was so good. My 9 and 6 year old wanted more and asked for some in their lunch tomorrow! Thank you!

I made this and we really enjoyed it. I also used some spinach, and nstead of sun-dried tomatoes, whcih I don’t care for, I added just a few diced up homemade roasted red pepper strips. Also seasoned the chicken with Italian seasoning. It was really easy, and I love knowing there’s another one in the freezer!

Made this tonight. Found it a little bland. I do not like tomatoes so I did not add them, so next time I will add another veggie with the mushrooms.

We made this tonight for dinner. The only change that I made was to take out the mushrooms (we aren’t big fans), and it was fantastic! Super easy, and I love that it made two meals! Even my husband gave it the ‘thumbs up’! Which is surprising, since he hates pasta… Thanks for a great meal!

This looks like a great family meal. Thanks for sharing!

isnt that to much butter its to much for me id put 4 tablespoons and a little more high quality shredded cheese its a great chicken bake.

I wanted to know about the garlic–garlic is not something we use alot of at my house. Fresh garlic, that is. But we can buy it already chopped up in a jar. Will this work? And what would be the equaivalent measurement? Thanks!

I found this Martha Stewart recipe as well and made it. We love it. The sun dried tomatoes give it such a nice flavor that I would really recommend you splurge on them. This is one of the dishes I make a lot in the winter. It’s to hot right now to fire up the stove. (or at least that’s what I tell myself) 🙂

Made this for our family dinner; all the kids come over and they ALL loved it! I will be making this again! Thank you for sharing this on the world wide web =)

I highlighted your recipe on my blog today. Thank you. https://scrapbookalphabet.blogspot.com/2012/07/sundays-guest-freebies.html

Can’t wait to try this. I was wondering what other pans would you recommend besides two one quart dishes since I dont have those. I have an 8×8 or 9×13 pan. I was hoping if a 9×13 pan was needed I could halve the recipe since I’m just making it for myself and don’t need a ton of leftovers! Thanks =)

I found this recipe on Pinterest. It looked good so I made it last night for my family. It was a total hit! They absolutely loved it! In fact, we have some leftovers for lunch today. Thank you, Laura!

I’m so excited to make this. I highlighted it in one of my directories today. Thank you. https://grannyenchantedskitchen.blogspot.com/2012/05/dinner-directory-page-1.html

I modified this on my blog. Don’t worry I give credit where it’s due. You’re the Real Mom, I made a Bizzaromom version 🙂

I made this tonight. It was delicious! I substituted provolone with emmental. I was dubious about the sun-dried tomatoes, but it was a nice surprise! thanks for sharing the recipe.

Made this tonight, minus the mushrooms as my husband despises them, and it turned out very good. I am especially excited that I have an entire second dinner in the freezer! Perhaps not my favorite meal, but definitely good enough to add to the rotation.

I make a few alterations to appease my picky BF (no veggies, cook the chicken with some Italian herbs, and use a mix of asiago/white cheddar/parmesan for the cheese) and cut it down to single pan size. He absolutely LOVES this dish and will request it fairly regularly.

Found this recipe on pinterest the other day and it brought me here. Just made this tonight with a few little changes and YUM! Huge hit with everyone. Thanks for sharing. I posted a pic of mine on my blog today.

I just made this tonight and was quite surprised at how well it turned out! I figured it would be tasty just by looking at the ingredients but it was more than that, it was absolutely delicious! I changed around the cooking pots and pans but other than that stuck to the recipie. Side note: this is a “whole kitchen counter” kind of meal. Make sure you give yourself enough room and ample time!

I found your site through Pinterest (the Twix Bar recipe), and found this recipe. Made it last night, substituting Dreamfields Rotini (as I am low carb) and adding broccoli (and leaving the mushrooms and tomatoes).
Very, very good. This on is a keeper!

Made this over the weekend with a few minor tweaks (had to sub sausage for chicken, skipped the mushrooms, and replaced a little of the provolone cheese for some mozzarella due to not having all ingredients on hand). Delicious!!! Definitely 2 thumbs up 🙂

I tried to follow this recipe exactly but had problems with the sauce. It thickened up REALLY fast and there really wasn’t enough liquid for the dish. Can I add more milk to fix it? The flavors and all were great though.

made this tonight, minus the tomatoes and my family, which includes kids, 6,5,4 and my husband, loved it. next time i will add some broccoli or spinach. thanks for the recipe!

Made this tonight…. my sister, her boys and my boyfriend all LOVED it!!! I used 1% milk instead of whole, margarine instead of butter and 1 can of petite diced tomatoes instead of sundried. yUMMY!!

My family will love this. I can’t wait to make it.

Very tasty! I added 1/8 tsp fresh nutmeg (always makes a cream sauce POP!) and 1/4 C rosé wine to the sauce. Fabulous!

Just made this for dinner. It wasso good! Un
Instead of provolone, I used gruyere. Also, added some crushed red pepper and Italian seasoning. Will definitely be making this again!

I found this a little bland… would use more cheese next time.

I haven’t even gotten it out of the oven yet and my mouth is watering!! Smells de-lish!! Can’t wait for dinner to be done!

This was super!! FYI if you have two very hungry guys bake both pans we fed 7 and only had a small serving of left overs we all fought over ºÜº

I made this this week–and LOVED it. I even splurged for the sun-dried tomatoes–they were TOTALLY worth it. Loved it!

We had this tonight & it was sooo great! We substituted asparagus for the sun dried tomatoes… tasted better than restaurant quality!

I saw this recipe too, and made it last week. It was delicious, and relatively easy to make! I love that it made an extra pan to freeze for later. I think your suggestion to add broccoli or asparagus (or maybe even spinach?) is a great idea!

This dish sounds wonderful I am going to try it tonight!

The pictures of this dish look amazing!! I so want to make this tonight. I need to see if I have all the ingredients at home. Great recipe!

That sounds delicious!

Now that’s my kind of dinner! Beautiful Laura!!
