For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Be sure to adjust cooking time accordingly. Fresh herbs like thyme or oregano can be substituted for basil, or used in combination, for a delightful twist. Add a layer of sautéed spinach or other leafy greens for an extra boost of nutrients and flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or mozzarella, for a unique topping.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Gently place the chicken breast in the boiling water and cook until it's no longer pink inside. (15-20 minutes)
03
StepWhile the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
04
StepIn a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms, chopped fresh basil, and minced garlic until fragrant and the mushrooms are tender. (5 minutes)
05
StepDrain and finely chop the cooked chicken. In a separate saucepan, gently warm the condensed cream of chicken soup over low heat. (5 minutes)
06
StepIn the saucepan with the warmed soup, combine the chopped chicken, sautéed mushroom mixture, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
07
StepIn a large bowl, combine the drained pasta with melted butter. Pour the creamy chicken and mushroom mixture over the pasta and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
08
StepTransfer the pasta mixture to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
09
StepBake in the preheated oven until the casserole is heated through, bubbly, and the Parmesan cheese is melted and golden brown. (20 minutes)
