Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken shredded or diced
  • 1 lb spaghetti linguine, fettuccine, or bucatini
  • 2 10.5 oz cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 16 oz container plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup reserved pasta water
  • 1 10 oz bag frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 6 oz can French's Fried Onions
  • Butter or nonstick cooking spray for greasing the baking dish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the baking dish

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Cook the pasta

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  • Before draining, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water. Drain the remaining water.

Mix the casserole

    Add the cooked pasta to the prepared baking dish.

      Stir in:

      • Rotisserie chicken
      • Cream of chicken soup
      • Greek yogurt
      • Reserved pasta water
      • Thawed and well-drained spinach

      Mix until everything is evenly coated.

      • Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.

      Add the toppings

      • Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the casserole.
      • Top with an even layer of French's Fried Onions.

      Bake

      • Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted.
      • For extra crispy onions, loosely cover with foil for the first 20 minutes, then remove the foil for the last 10–15 minutes.

      Rest and serve

      • Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
