- 3 cups Swiss cheese, shredded

- 2 (10.5 ounces/298 grams) cans cream of chicken soup
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon season salt (Lowry’s brand)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup plain panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook cavatappi pasta in salted boiling water until tender, approximately 7-8 minutes, then drain thoroughly.

- Fold shredded Swiss cheese, diced rotisserie chicken, and cooked pasta into the creamy mixture, ensuring each ingredient is evenly distributed.
- Gently pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to create an even layer.
- Melt butter and combine with panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, mixing until the crumbs are completely coated.
- Sprinkle the buttery bread crumb mixture uniformly across the top of the casserole, creating a golden, crispy covering.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a bubbling texture and a beautifully bronzed top.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle and making it easier to serve.
