Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken

  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup minced fresh basil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 16 ounces baby spinach

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  3. While the macaroni is cooking, combine chicken, Swiss and mozzarella cheeses, mayonnaise, basil, and onion in a bowl. Add spinach, condensed soup, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper; mix to combine.

  4. Drain macaroni. Gently stir into the chicken mixture. Transfer to an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish.

  5. Toss bread crumbs with melted butter; sprinkle over the casserole.

  6. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.
