Ingredients
  

3 cups cooked rotini pasta

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup grated cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and grated cheddar cheese. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

        Combine with Pasta: Fold the cooked rotini pasta into the chicken and vegetable mixture until everything is evenly coated.

          Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch (or similar size) casserole dish with olive oil. Pour the chicken noodle mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Add Topping (Optional): If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the casserole. Add a little extra shredded cheddar cheese on top for a cheesy crust.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of this creamy chicken noodle casserole!
