Tips For Making This Honey Mustard Chicken Pasta Bake
- I used farfalle pasta but you could also use other kinds you may have to hand like rigatoni.
- Always cook your pasta until its al dente (cooked so as to be still firm when bitten). It finishes its cooking baking in the oven.
- Leftover chicken from the Sunday roast or shredded chicken are also fine to use.
- I used low fat cheddar cheese for the cheese topping. You could always use other kinds of cheese, like mozzarella.
- You can keep any leftovers of this chicken pasta bake covered, in the fridge for 2 - 3 days.
- You can freeze leftover chicken pasta bake. Just let it cook completely first then cut it into portions and freeze in separate containers.
- It's possible to eat this pasta bake cold or if you want to re-heat it then do so in the microwave. If taking out of the freezer, make sure it's thoroughly defrosted first.

Neil, I'm in need of good comfort food just now and this fits the bill well. I do believe we're all going to gain a bit doing these weird times, but we'll know how it got there and thus know how to lose it...
Stay safe and healthy over your way.
Neil
Hey Ron, thanks for your comment. Indeed I think these challenging times are just when we need comfort food like this! Look after yourself over there too. We'll get through this!
David @ Spiced
I love a good pasta bake! This one sounds delicious and easy to make - that's a win-win in my book. And Ron makes an interesting point above about gaining weight - I never thought about it, but he's probably right. We're totally self-confined to the house here, and we're going bonkers! At least we have yummy, healthy meals like this one to keep us going! 🙂 Hope you and Lynne are staying safe and healthy over there!
Neil
Thanks David. I thought that this would be an appropriate meal for now that hopefully everyone can still get the ingredients to make. People usually have pasta in their cupboards and chicken is easy to get. The honey mustard flavours are easy to produce. Yes we are also mostly confined to the house. I'll need to start running outside again now that the gym is closed. Hopefully the temperature will rise soon. Take care over there too!!
Laura
Easy, tasty, comforting! Totally fits the bill right now, Neil! Thanks for the recipe! On my list of must-make recipes!
Neil
Great. Thanks Laura, that's exactly what I wanted it to be. Easy, tasty and comforting! 🙂
Ben | Havocinthekitchen
I am all about pasta and especially baked pasta, and the combinations of pasta, chicken, and cheese is one of my favourite. But the idea of using condensed cream of mushroom soup? How interesting - I would have never thought! Delicious!
Neil
Yep, using the condensed cream of chicken soup means there's less effort to make a sauce to go with this Ben. So much easier and hopefully a staple that folks can easily get to put this meal together. Thank you! 😀
mimi rippee
I just love baked pastas. And I love the ingredients and flavors in this one!
Neil
Thanks Mimi! I have to say that honey mustard is one of my favourite flavours! 🙂
Katerina
These are great flavours, Neil - I have always loved making meals with a can of condensed soup! I love the inclusion of honey - can't wait to try this one out! Hope you're well.
Neil
Thanks Katerina. I love making meals with condensed soup too. It's a real time saver, plus it doesn't contain quite as many calories as cream! Hope you are well over there too! 🙂
Jeff the Chef
Thanks for this recipe, Neil. I'm definitely going to use it. I regularly buy rotisserie chickens, because I love having leftover chicken on-hand to make quick dishes out of. What's more, I usually also make a crude stock from the carcass, and lately I've been making a mushroom soup out of the stock! I could quite easily make a condensed version, and use it as the base for this bake. Thanks!
Neil
That sounds brilliant Jeff! Love how you make your own mushroom soup and could quite easily make a condensed version. I'll need to look into trying to make my own condensed version too!
Jeff the Chef
I've never made a condensed soup before, but here's what I'm thinking: if you use a crude, homemade stock with just lots of bones and not too much water, you wind up with something that seriously gels when refrigerated. I do this all the time, and then dilute that gel and flavor it with a chicken reduction paste. (In other words, it's like rehydrating bouillon with a gelled stock and water, instead of just water). It makes a seriously hearty mushroom soup. I'm thinking there must be ways to start like that, and wind up with a condensed soup pretty easily. I'll have to research it.
Neil
Thanks Jeff. That sounds quite easy for me to get started trying out a condensed soup.
