Chicken Supreme Pasta Bake

I really enjoyed this meal.

On the original recipe website, the author called it a pasta dish and chicken supreme pizza combined, and I could definitely feel that flavor combo! It was creamy, cheesy, but had that distinct veggie pizza taste to it. Yum!

I made a couple small alterations from the original recipe - left out the mushrooms bc I think they're gross, and chopped fresh tomatoes since canned diced tomatoes are pricey here. Because I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned, I added those in with the peppers and onions to cook a little in the butter. I also stirred all of the cheese into the sauce instead of sprinkling some on top before baking, since the cheese here doesn't melt very well in the oven. It was very tasty, and I'll definitely make it again.

The dish has several veggies in it, but since I'm on a force-us-all-to-eat-more-veggies kick, I served it with some sauteed broccoli and green beans, and it was great!

Chicken Supreme Pasta Bake

Original Recipe

3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or cubed (I sprinkled the shredded chicken with a little salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning)

1 pkg of pasta, cooked according to package directions

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

3 TBS butter

3 TBS flour

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup Dahi (Greek yogurt)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (the block "pizza cheese" in India)

Salt & Pepper to taste

In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat, and sautee the onions, peppers, and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the tomatoes and sautee for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth (works best to use a whisk at this point) and continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 more minutes. Then slowly stir in your Dahi and cheeses. Stir and cook until the cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste, and original Italian Seasoning, if you desire.

Add the shredded chicken and cooked pasta and stir until evenly combined. Pour everything into a 9x13 baking dish, and bake for 20 minutes. This will help to thicken the sauce a bit and bake all the flavors together. If you're in a hurry though (or starving), you can skip the baking step and just eat the pasta as soon as everything is stirred together!
