Enjoy a pan of Chicken Supreme Pasta Bake for a delicious comfort food dinner. This easy chicken pasta bake comes together in no time when you combine chicken supreme pizza toppings with pasta and melted cheese.
If you love cheesy pasta dinners, make sure you try this Chicken Ranch Pasta Bake too. It's a family favorite here.
A few years ago I set a goal of making more dinners around here. I have to say that I feel like that is still going pretty well. Over the years I have experimenting with more with savory foods and healthy dishes along with all the sweets and treats each week.
Let's talk comfort food for a minute. Do you have a certain food group that you just absolutely love? And no, I'm not talking dessert here.
For me, that food would have to be pasta. 9 times out of 10 I will choose a pasta dish when we go out to eat.
Although, I have been branching out lately and ordering different things. It really is true that the older you get, the more your tastes buds change. Or grow up. I guess it all depends on how you look at it.
Chicken Pasta Bake
Another comfort food meal that we love is pizza. We usually make Homemade Pizza Dough and Homemade Pizza Sauce at least once a month for Friday night movie nights.
The other times we order from different pizza places. Homemade, store bought, pizza shop...we pretty much enjoy them all.
So, when I wanted to make another cheesy pasta dinner, I combined my two favorite comfort foods into this amazing chicken pasta bake.
Since Chicken Supreme is one of my favorites, I incorporate those pizza toppings into a chicken pasta. If you are in a hurry, this chicken supreme casserole is made in on the stove top and is ready to eat in under 30 minutes.
But let's be honest. Topping it with more cheese and baking it into an ooey, gooey pasta bake is so much better. More cheese always get our vote! It's one of the reasons we all love this Cheesy Chicken Pasta and this Buffalo Chicken Pasta.
What You'll Need
This chicken pasta casserole without canned soup comes together pretty quickly when you prep your ingredients ahead of time. Chop the cooked chicken and vegetables ahead of time and keep them in containers in the refrigerator.
When you are ready for dinner, cook the sauce, and add all the prepped ingredients to the pot. Easy, peasy, and definitely cheesy!
- Pasta - any pasta variety can be used in this casserole
- Veggies - a mixture of onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes
- Butter - unsalted so you can control the amount of salt in the dinner
- Flour - used to thicken the sauce
- Chicken Broth - adds flavor to the sauce
- Plain Greek Yogurt - any kind or brand works
- Cheese - a mixture of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese
- Chicken - You can cook your own chicken, or you can be like me and buy a rotisserie chicken from Sam's for quick meal prep. You could even use canned chicken if that's what you have on hand at the moment.
- Spices - salt, pepper, oregano

Made this for the first time tonight for dinner, and it won't be my last. This was sooo good!! Now that I've tried it once I can't wait to experiment with it a little, maybe using broccoli or some bacon, maybe chop up a little spinach. I love recipes where I can use whatever I have on hand at the time. You knocked it out of the park with this one, it was delicious! My husband was skeptical because it looked suspiciously like a casserole to him and he hates those, but he loved this recipe. Love your recipes Jocelyn!
AMY M WHITNEY
Made this for dinner tonight came out great and tasted good..
Teresa Eidson
I made this, doubled amount of chicken. Delish!
Natalie
Do I use cooked chicken cubes?
Jocelyn
The recipe says to use 2 cups grilled chicken cubes...so yes, you want to use cooked chicken. I hope that helps and you enjoy the pasta.
Janis Hardick
Hi, could you tell me the approximate serving size if this feeds 8 people. Would it be about a cup of pasta?
Looks yummy!

Jocelyn
To be honest, I'm not quite sure how much the serving is in cup size. We just usually get about 8 large scoops out of the pan. My guess is it's probably around 1 cup or maybe even a little more.
Aleta Carlberg
Can this be made without the tomatoes? My son does not like them.
Jocelyn
It sure can. You could always substitute red peppers instead of the tomatoes. Just add them when you add the green ones. I hope your family enjoys the pasta.

Where is the recipe? I can't find it in the post at all.
Jocelyn
I am so sorry about that. Today we had a major site issue that took down all the recipe cards. It has been fixed and everything should be showing again.
Nicole
My family loves this!! We substitute a can of Ro-tel tomatoes and chilies for the diced tomatoes for a little extra kick of flavor.
Jocelyn
We do that sometimes too because our youngest loves spicy food! I'm so glad to hear your family loves this pasta!!!
