Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a different spin on the traditional chicken casserole, and it's tasty. Diced green bell pepper, celery, and onion add freshness to the dish. There's just enough creamy sauce for the delicate angel hair pasta to absorb. Cheese and Panko crumbs on top add a satisfying crunch once baked. Pair it with a crisp salad, and you've got one satisfying weeknight dinner.
