1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 10.5 oz cans cream of chicken condensed soup
1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup sour cream
1.5 cups chicken broth
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp italian seasoning

Instructions

Step: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Step: Boil noodles to al dente according to the package instructions while you prepare the sauce base in your largest mixing bowl.
Step: Combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Add half of the shredded cheeses, the rotisserie chicken, and the noodles and toss until the noodles are well coated and evenly combined.
Step: Butter the bottom and sides of a casserole dish then turn out the pasta mixture into the casserole dish distributing it evenly. Top with handfuls of the remaining shredded cheese on top and dried parsley.
Step: Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Cook pasta just to al dente to prevent mushiness during baking. Ensure cream cheese is very soft (microwave for 30 seconds) for a smooth sauce. For variety, you can add frozen peas or sautéed mushrooms.
