Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mist a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place chicken in a large bowl. Season with lemon-pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and pan-fry, stirring as needed, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Transfer chicken to a clean mixing bowl with drained pasta. Add tomatoes, both cans of condensed soup, peas, cauliflower and broccoli, basil, parsley, and oregano. Mix until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 42 minutes.
