This Mediterranean-style chicken casserole with vegetables, ribbony pasta, and two types of cheese is a mouthwatering one-pot dinner for two. I like to serve it with a light salad and a crisp white wine.
Ingredients
- 3 cups uncooked mafalda pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup Italian green olives
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- ¼ cup grated Grana Padano cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until flexible but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain.
Step 3
Heat oil in a cast iron casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saut? until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, thyme, lemon zest, and pepper flakes. Cook and stir until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in half-cooked pasta, then sprinkle Pecorino Romano and Grana Padano over top.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven casserole is bubbling and cheeses are melted and browned, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
