The secret to making this easy Chicken Rosa Casserole Bake recipe is in the sauce.

The trick is combing two separate and delicious sauces to make a mouthwatering and creamy rosa sauce.

First, you want to use Bertolli® Organic Traditional Tomato & Basil Sauce.  It is made with non-GMO ingredients like plump tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and romano cheese.

The second sauce you will need is the Bertolli® Organic Creamy Alfredo Sauce.  It is also made with non-GMO ingredients like fresh cream, whole milk, real butter, and aged Parmesan and Romano cheeses.

The other secret for this easy chicken casserole recipe is using precooked ingredients. When I’m running late on time, I like to use some chicken chunks from the freezer section. But it can also be made with fresh chicken breast.

After you cook the noodles, chicken and bacon; the rest is incredibly easy! Once you place all the ingredients mixed with the sauce into a small baking dish you will top with the Muenster cheese slices.

Finish off by sprinkling on the cheddar cheese, then bake.

Once finished, you can garnish with fresh parsley. Cilantro is also good, but I know several of you don’t like cilantro. So parsley is a great option for you.

Dish up and serve! Add candle light and even some light music to make the atmosphere special.

You can get approximately 6 servings from this one recipe. If you find you prefer more chicken or bacon than the recipe calls for, go ahead and add more. You can easily adjust the portions to offer the right balance between meat and noodles.

If you have someone who can’t eat noodles, those can also be omitted. Just add extra chicken and bacon in place of the noodles and proceed as directed by the recipe.
