Cooking with Jaye - Chicken and Pea Casserole

this week brings you a simple casserole. If you don't like peas, you can sub in other veggies too.



1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta (or any pasta)
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup sour cream
1 (10 ounce) can chunk chicken, drained (or cooked chicken chopped up)

1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon
salt and pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10
minutes; drain.
3 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together mushroom
soup, sour cream, chicken, and peas. Season with garlic
powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
4 Stir cooked pasta into chicken mixture until well
combined. Pour pasta mixture into a 9x10-inch casserole dish,
and spread out evenly. Top with Parmesan cheese, and spray
the top with a bit of cooking spray.
5 Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 20
to 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 5 minutes."
