Notes

This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. To reheat, bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until heated through. For variations, consider using whole wheat pasta for a healthier option, or replacing chicken with vegetables for a vegetarian version.
