Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked rotini pasta

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli florets

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup shredded carrots

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant. Stir in the broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, and shredded carrots. Cook the mixture for around 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano to enhance their flavor.

      Combine the Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooked rotini pasta, shredded chicken, the sautéed vegetable mixture, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Prepare the Casserole Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking. Pour the pasta mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.

          Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole for a deliciously cheesy layer. Follow that with an even distribution of grated Parmesan cheese to create a perfectly golden crust when baked.

            Bake: Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes. After this time, carefully remove the foil and return the casserole to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, take the casserole out of the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley to add a touch of brightness to your dish.
