For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Bake them until cooked, let them cool, remove the skin and bone, and shred the meat. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a blend of Italian cheeses would all work well. If you want to make this ahead of time, assemble the casserole but don't bake it. Cover it tightly with foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 15 minutes to the baking time. Add frozen peas or broccoli florets to the sauce for added vegetables.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepIn a large pot, bring water to a boil. Gently place the chicken breasts into the boiling water and cook until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. A thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and let cool slightly before cutting into 1-inch pieces.
03
StepIn a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, and cream of celery soups. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Incorporate half of the shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked chicken pieces, half-and-half, pimentos, white wine, mushrooms, parsley, and steak sauce. Simmer gently until heated through.
04
StepWhile the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually 4-5 minutes. Drain well.
05
StepIn a large baking dish, combine the drained pasta with the creamy chicken mixture, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese over the top, followed by a pinch of paprika.
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 45 minutes.
