Original recipe yields 4 servings

The ingredient list now reflects the servings specified

8 ounces uncooked rotini pasta
1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced fat cream of chicken soup
2 cups chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and drained
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
½ cup skim milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

I made this as a side dish so I excluded the chicken and added a few more ounces of pasta. I also used canned green beans instead of the broccoli and added the cheese in with everything. I added italian seasoning as well. Topped the dish with seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with a little melted butter...I also added a little garlic to the breadcrumbs. We really enjoyed it! Super easy and will make again! Read More

I used left-over cajun chicken. This was okay. A little boring but quick and easy. Read More

This is very quick and easy. I made it with double the noodles and just added little extra milk. I also mixed unseasoned breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkled on top for a little crispiness. Read More

Pretty bland but unobjectionable. Very family friendly. It doesn't say what size dish to use but I used an 8x8 pan. I mixed the cheese in with the pasta so I could add a cracker topping which the kids like. Read More

Quick and a hit with the kids! I doubled this recipe and filled a 13x9 pan. I added approx 3/4 cup of sour cream and topped with a combo of melted butter mixed with a 1/2 sleeve of ritz crackers. Read More

I added some salt and onion powder to the mix. I accidentally added the 1/2 cup of cheese to the mix then topped it with more cheese. I liked it. My 2 year old loved it. Read More

So yummy! I modified a bit. I added some sour cream Cayenne Paprika and I topped with crushed Ritz crackers. I also mixed the cheese throughout and just added a little to the top along with the crumbs. It was so simple! I will definitely make it again with my small changes Read More

I loved this recipe for the quickness and it's easily customizable too. Definitely need to add more spices than what is called for to liven it up. Read More
