Notes

Chicken - You can use shredded or diced chicken. If you don't have any made in advance you can use a rotisserie chicken. Or cook your chicken in a skillet or oven and then dice up for the casserole.

Pasta - Cook your pasta till al dente if you don't want a softer pasta in the casserole.

Vegetables - If you want you can add in some drained canned corn or frozen corn. Or drain and rinse beans and mix in for added protein.
