Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12x9 casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 16 ounces of rotini pasta according to the package instructions, about 8-10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transfer back to the pot.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of chicken and 1 pound of crumbled bacon for about 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden and the bacon is crispy.
- Mix together 2 packages of softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 cup milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in 1.5 cups Mexican Cheddar Jack cheese, diced jalapenos, and most of the green onions.
- Spread the cooked rotini pasta at the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Then add the sautéed chicken and bacon mixture.
- Spoon the cheese and jalapeno mixture over the layered pasta and chicken, gently stirring to combine without over-mixing.
- Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of Mexican Cheddar Jack cheese, reserved bacon, and the rest of the green onions on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
