For an extra layer of flavor, try adding some sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the chicken and pasta mixture. To prevent the pasta from sticking together, toss it with a little olive oil after draining. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of boiling the chicken breasts. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or Parmesan. The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
