This pasta casserole with chicken is very filling and tasty enough to keep the recipe in your notebook.

Delicious casserole with chicken breast and pasta

Ingredients:

1 cup pasta;
300 g raw or smoked chicken breast (fillet);
1 small onion;
3 eggs;
salt and spices to taste;
3 tbsp. sour cream for greasing the casserole;
2 tbsp. butter for greasing the pan;
flour or semolina for sprinkling the mold;
sour cream for serving.

Chicken Pasta Casserole Recipe

1. You can use any pasta to prepare the casserole. Long classic pasta, spaghetti, noodles are suitable. But the easiest way to soak the sauce and the most convenient is small pasta such as horns, shells, bows.

2. Place a pan of water on the stove, add a little salt and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add the pasta and cook until half cooked (al dente). Keep in mind that the pasta will still be baked in the oven and it should not turn into porridge. Place the pasta in a colander and let the water drain. Then transfer to a deep bowl. Let the pasta cool completely. While the pasta is cooking, you can prepare the chicken.

3. In the meantime, you can grease the baking dish with butter or vegetable oil and sprinkle with semolina or flour. If you use a silicone mold, you don't have to grease it.

5. If you use smoked fillet, just chop it. And if you choose fresh chicken meat, then you need to fry it with onions until tender in a small amount of vegetable oil. Moreover, it is better to use chicken breast, since it still has skin with a layer of fat on it, and the fillet will not be so dry. Cool the smoked or fried fillet with onions completely and add to the bowl with the pasta and eggs. In between times, set the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

6. Salt and pepper to taste, add spices, mix the pasta mixture for the casserole. Among the seasonings that are perfect for the casserole are curry, dried basil, suneli hops or rosemary with thyme of your choice (it is better not to mix spice sets).

7. Place the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

8. Spread sour cream on top so that the casserole of pasta and chicken breast gets a beautiful golden brown crust during cooking.

9. Send to cook in a preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes. Temperature regime – 180 degrees. When you see that the egg has set and the casserole has become rosy and golden on all sides, it’s time to take it out of the oven.

10. Cool the finished casserole and turn it out of the pan onto a plate. While the casserole is hot, cutting it beautifully is quite problematic. But when it cools down, serving the dish beautifully will not be difficult. Chicken pasta casserole is ready! Slice it when cooled, then warm it slightly in the microwave before serving. Pour sour cream on top. By the way, if you have fresh herbs and garlic at home, you can add them in crushed form to sour cream, add a little salt - and you will get a delicious sauce that will ideally highlight the taste of the casserole. Bon appetit! And see also pasta casseroles.

Preparing dinner should not be a hassle, but the dish should be filling and tasty. I offer time-tested and family-tested recipes from products that the housewife always has in her refrigerator, the so-called standby stock. The base is the same, and variations in sauce and spices add variety to it.

Chicken with pasta

Want a simple but delicious lunch from next to nothing?

Treat yourself to spicy pasta with fragrant basil and juicy chicken.

The phrase “roll like a ball” completely loses its meaning if there is a small piece of chicken and a pack of pasta in the house.

You can cook chicken separately, cook pasta separately, but it’s better to combine two in one, reduce the amount of utensils used and the time spent at the stove.

The amount of water depends on the type of pasta you use and the container you cook in. More details about this in the recipe. For this dish, choose high-quality pasta, preferably Italian. They are not much more expensive than our domestic ones, but they are more difficult to digest, thereby ruining the entire dish. You can use any spices, including hot ones. To prepare pasta with chicken, it is better to take a deep saucepan with a non-stick coating.

Ingredients:

pasta – 400 g (1 pack)
chicken breast fillet – 350 g (1 piece)
onions – 150 g (2 pcs) water – 500-600 ml
tomato paste – 2 tbsp.
dried basil – 2 tsp.
vegetable oil – 2-3 tbsp.
garlic – 4-5 cloves
salt - to taste

Preparation:

Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown, but not cooked. There is no need to fry for a long time - 8-10 minutes. To make the chicken juicy and soft, place it in a frying pan only in well-heated oil and do not add salt. Fry the fillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. In boiling oil, the fillet sets quickly and the juice does not escape.

Add chopped onion.

Cook the chicken and onions until the onion smell disappears, about 3 minutes.

Salt the chicken to taste, add tomato paste, basil and chopped garlic.

Over medium heat, fry the chicken with the spices for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. The chicken turns out incredibly appetizing. By the way, this meat makes very tasty sandwiches with black or grain bread. You can use more chicken fillet for cooking and set aside some for breakfast sandwiches.

Place the pasta in the saucepan in an even layer.

Pour water, cover the saucepan with a lid, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat until the pasta is ready. Cooking time depends on the pasta chosen, but on average it takes about 10-15 minutes. Don't add too much water, just enough to lightly cover the pasta. Always remember that it is better to underfill than overfill. If there is not enough water, add more during cooking.

Check the pasta for doneness so as not to overcook it. It would seem like the simplest pasta with chicken, but wow...!
