Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked rotini pasta

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

1 cup frozen peas (thawed)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup diced bell pepper (red or yellow)

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup sour cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until they are fragrant and the onions become translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the diced bell pepper and shredded carrots, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

      Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rotini pasta, shredded chicken, thawed peas, sautéed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, half of the Parmesan cheese (½ cup), thyme, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

        Prepare the Casserole Dish: Pour the chicken and noodle mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

          Topping Delight: In a small bowl, mix the crushed buttery crackers with the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.

                Enjoy your delicious Golden Parmesan Herb Chicken Noodle Casserole!
