Ingredients
list of 11 items
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup (NOT diluted) (I used Campbell’s Healthy Request)
½ cup milk
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup diced onion (I used frozen diced onion as a shortcut)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 celery stalks, diced
½ lb. raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
1 ½ cups uncooked penne pasta
1 cup grated American or cheddar cheese, divided
list end
Instructions
list of 4 items
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together condensed soup, milk, chicken broth, and pepper. Stir in onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, celery, raw chicken, uncooked
pasta, and ½ cup cheese.
3. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Cover tightly and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove foil and give everything a stir in the dish. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheese over top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 30-40 more
minutes, or until pasta is tender and chicken is cooked through.

Recipe Notes
Cooking for a larger family? I recommend doubling all of the ingredients and preparing the casserole in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. The baking instructions
remain the same.
