Ingredients:

1 pound cavatappi pasta
2 (10.5-ounce) cans of cream of chicken soup
2 cups of half & half
3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon of seasoned salt (I use Lowry’s brand)
½ teaspoon of black pepper
3 cups of Swiss cheese, shredded
2 cups of rotisserie chicken, diced
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup of plain panko bread crumbs
¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the cavatappi pasta in a large pot of boiling water for 7-8 minutes until al dente, a perfect base for this comforting dish.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, half & half, Dijon mustard, fresh parsley, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese, diced rotisserie chicken, and cooked pasta, creating a creamy and savory blend.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading holiday cheer with every layer.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, panko bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this golden topping over the casserole.
