Chipotle Ranch Chicken Casserole

It was so nice to have an easy dish to put together and bake off in the oven. I used chickpea penne pasta cooked 6 minutes (still firm to the bite). Worked out perfectly. I did add more than the 1/2 cup of cheese, with such a large surface to cover on the oblong casserole it didn't cover the dish satisfactorily with only 1/2 cup. With 3 adults in the house we still had half of the rectangular casserole left for dinner the next night. We included some store bought pico de gallo I had in the fridge and mixed a little Pace Salsa on the plated dish and included with each bite of casserole. Very good addition. JUST A NOTE: I also reviewed the original dish this casserole was made from and stated that I don't like chili in adobo so replaced it with 1 TBSP of canned Old Elpaso Mild Green Chilis and 1 tsp of chili powder to replace the adobo chili in the recipe so mine is somewhat different. If you used the chili in adobo you might not even need the pico de gallo and salsa to accompany the casserole.
