HOW TO MAKE CREAMY DREAMY CHICKEN AND SPIRALS CASSEROLE
Step 1: Ready the oven. Preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Use cooking spray to grease a 9 × 13-inch pan. Set aside.
Step 3: Bring to a boil a large pot with salted water. Add in and cook the pasta for about 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through. Drain and rinse in cold water.
Step 4: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly add in the flour and stir until smooth.
Step 5: Gradually pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow to simmer for about a minute, then, adjust the heat to low before adding in the Cheddar cheese followed by the cream cheese. Continue to cook until fully melted.
Step 6: Pour the wine into the saucepan, then, add in the nutmeg, mustard, and salt.
Step 7: Add in the cooked pasta, top with the pieces of chicken, and pour the sauce on top.
Step 8: Combine the parmesan cheese, butter, and cracker crumbs in a small mixing bowl until well mixed. Sprinkle this over the pasta chicken.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 10: Allow the casserole to cool for at least 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
