Tomato, Chicken and Havarti Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 orange pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 cups gluten-free fusilli pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 2 cup shredded Havarti cheese, divided
  • Optional topping: chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion, peppers and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the skillet and stir to combine.
  5. Add the gluten-free fusilli, chicken broth, diced cherry tomatoes, and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded Havarti cheese until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
