Cheesy Baked Chicken Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce
1 cup cooked pasta (optional)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
½ cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley or green onions (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, add the shredded cooked chicken.
Pour in the pizza sauce and mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
If you are using pasta, add the cooked pasta to the chicken mixture and stir gently.
Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion.
Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
Mix everything until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Spread it evenly using a spoon.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese generously on top.
Make sure the surface is fully covered for a creamy and cheesy texture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes,
or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions before serving.
Cut into squares and serve
