Chicken Casserole Recipe Using Philadelphia Sauce

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
• At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain. Drain cooked chicken and cut into bite-size pieces.
• Place chicken, noodles, Alfredo sauce, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix well. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Layer remaining mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Start by cooking arborio rice as directed on package. I used chicken broth instead of water. It takes 30 minutes or so of constant stirring, but is SO worth the effort.
• Saute onion in olive oil, add chicken ( i cook mine in the skillet, then dice it cuz I hate touching raw chiken ).
• Add garlic, squash, Philadelphia cream cheese sauce, and rice. Cook until squash is done. Life is good.

Steps:

• Cook chicken and noodles in large pan of boiling water 8 min. or until chicken is done and noodles are tender, adding spinach to the boiling water for the last 6 min.; drain. Return chicken mixture to pan.
• Add cream cheese spread, broth and mayo; cook on medium-low heat 5 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly.
• Add cheddar cheese; cook and stir 1 min. or until melted.
