Enjoy my Chicken and Mushroom Pasta Bake in your house tonight and just watch the smiles.

Creating deliciousness in your kitchen is easier than you think and it doesn’t mean you have to spend hours slaving over a hot stove.

Using prepared items like Barber Foods® Raw Stuffed Chicken Breasts is an easy way to get delicious and fun meals on your table without spending your evening in the kitchen.

If you think outside of the box a little, you can create your own masterpieces by adding a few ingredients into the mix like I did coming up with an OMG delicious dish.

There really aren’t a lot of ingredients in my pasta bake, and I had thought of using frozen vegetables instead of cutting fresh. That would save some time and you could add variety with the different vegetable blends that most supermarkets carry. Here is our Mise en Place for my pasta bake recipe.

Adding your own flair to a pasta dish turns a quick and easy weeknight meal into a feast.

Feel free to use your favorite pasta shape and your favorite cheese with this dish. I used a swiss style cheddar that was a perfect compliment to the Swiss in the chicken breast.

I promise this dish will bring smiles to your table!
