Chicken Pasta Bake

Submitted by Noo8820

"A very simple dish that can be made ahead of time and popped into the refrigerator until you want to bake it. Equally, I find it a quick fix dinner if I'm in a rush. All I have to do is pick up a chicken on the way home!! Don't leave the curry powder out; it doesn't add heat, just an interesting twist to it."

Really good. I used some leftover cooked chicken, and muenster cheese instead of cheddar. The curry powder really makes the dish--DH even though it could have used more! This is an excellent one-dish dinner. Thanks for posting!

Must admit that I made a couple of substitutions when making this recipe, but it wasn't anything drastic, I thought ~ Instead of using mushroom soup, I used cream of chicken, & then I substituted crushed Milton's Original Multi-Grain Crackers for the bread crumbs! Very, very easy to make, & it was also very satisfying! I'm not usually big on the use of curry, but it did work well here, & my other half would like it make again, so . . . Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

A great winter warmer. I made exactly as posted and we really enjoyed it. As Noo says "don't leave out the curry powder", it just adds to the flavour without overpowering it. Another keeper :) Made for Aus/NZ swap June 2010

made this to sell in the school tuckshop, and as it tastes great! I am sure it will sell fast.<br/>Used chicken tenderloins, chopped, peas and beans as the veg. I used one can of chicken soup, and one chicken and sweetcorn. I used fresh cream, instead of sour, and thickened the mix with cornflour. also added a little butter and garlic to the cheesy topping. Thanks for a great recipe! just what I was looking for.

We really enjoyed this for dinner tonight. Rotini pasta was used, along with 13.5 ounces of cooked chicken breast, hot curry powder and just a sprinkling of bread crumbs as that was all I had. Oh yes, and light sour cream. I will be making this again. Made for Please Review My Recipe
