Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 8 oz Angel hair pasta
• 1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Set the shredded chicken aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the can of Rotel, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and heated through.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sauce.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked angel hair pasta with the chicken and sauce mixture. Toss everything together until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 9

Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm.
