Baked Chicken Pasta

Do you ever have those crazy days where you don't have time to do anything for dinner until it's the end of the day and all of a sudden you have no clue what to make? Mondays are those days for me. Between tumbling,preschool,house,yoga they are my craziest days.
So I came up with this it was easy and a big hit with the hubby.
This recipe is great for nights like that and it tastes awesome.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. You need 1 can cream of chicken soup, 16 oz of pasta of your choice (I used spiral), 4-5 boneless chicken breast or thighs,2 cups of cheese, 6 strips of bacon, 1 tablespoon of  garlic powder and some salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the chicken up in to bite size chunks. Cook and crumble the bacon, set it aside for later. Cook the chicken in that same pan with the bacon drippings. Add garlic powder and salt and pepper.

Mean while cook the pasta according to it's directions.

When the chicken is cooked completely throw it in a bowl with the cream soup and some of the bacon and cheese.( I also put in a spoonful of sour cream and a little milk to make it creamier, but that's up to you.) Drain and add the pasta. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non stick spray pour into the dish and top with the rest of the cheese and bacon. Cook at 400 degrees for around 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

What do you think? Easy right? I try to make most of my recipes versatile so you can add pretty much what ever you would like. You can use cream of mushroom or celery, more or less bacon and cheese, broccoli would even be great in it. Give it a try the way you think you would like but and be sure to come back and comment on how it turned out for you. I can't wait to hear from you!
