14ozVELVEETAcubed
4Tbspbutter
2Bell peppersI used red and orange, seeded and chopped
1medium yellow onionchopped
10ozpenne pasta
Panko bread crumbs
Instructions
Use a leftover roaster chicken, leftover chicken breasts or cook your own roaster chicken
To Cook The Chicken
Put the chicken and your favorite seasoning blend into a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil ,once the water is boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat and allow to cool. Remove the chicken from the pot (save the water to cook your penne in) and once it's cool enough, shred all the chicken and set it aside.
If you don't cook your own chicken or after your chicken is cooled - these are the next steps
Pre-heat oven to 350 ℉
Melt the butter in a large skillet - add in the onions and bell peppers and cook until crisp tender.
Add in VELVEETA, Ro*Tel® and Soup - cook until bubbling
While that mixture is bubbling, cook your penne pasta
Add the chicken and cooked pasta to the VELVEETA mixture and stir well
Pour into a 9X13 casserole dish, smooth it all out and top with Panko bread crumbs
Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbling
Turn the broiler on HI and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or just long enough to get the breadcrumbs all nice and crispy and golden brown
Notes
This is a delicious twist on a classic Southern favorite, a great way to use leftover chicken in a new way.
