If I don’t want to bake it in the microwave how would I bake it in the oven (temp. and time)? Thanks so much!!

I’ve never made it in the oven because it’s my quick go to meal for the microwave but if I were to make it in the oven, I’d probably cook it at 350F for 25 minutes and then check it, adding on minutes if needed.

I made this when our air conditioner was out of commission. It’s a very adaptable recipe. I didn’t have mozzarella cheese so i used sharp cheddar. I didn’t have penne so i used elbow macaroni. I used canned chicken breast instead of grilled chicken. It got raves from my picky eaters both adult and children.
Angie says
ooo love that it worked out with the cheddar and elbow mac!
