Frog Prince made me a total comfort food dish while I was down and out with the flu.
It was delicious.
Doesn't it look like a good comfort food?!
When we make it again, I'll add spinach (or broccoli) and mushrooms! Yum.
Cheddar Chicken and Pasta Bake - Adapted from Cynthia at What's For Dinner
1/2 lb. pasta, any
4-6 oz. extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
~1 chicken breast, shredded
Italian seasoning (use liberally)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 C milk
Prepare pasta according to package directions, until just about done.
Meanwhile, dice/shred the chicken, and shred the cheese.
Lightly grease an 8x8 inch glass baking dish. Then, pour in 1/3 of the pasta.
Top with 1/3 of the shredded/diced chicken.
Layer over the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and then top with cheese.
Repeat layers,
ending with cheese on top :)
Then, drizzle 1/2 C milk over the top of the dish.
Yum.
Cover with tinfoil, and bake at 350 for ~20 minutes.
Remove the tinfoil, and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is nicely melted.
Enjoy!
This looks great and easy to make when you aren't feeling so hot. Hope you are feeling better! I'm totally feeling the adding of the mushrooms and a few other veggies. What a great hubby you have!!
