Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked pasta (fusilli or penne work great)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie)

1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

      Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

        Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.

          Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese over the top of the pasta mixture. Finally, add the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy finish.

            Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
