Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add your choice of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. After draining, rinse the pasta under cool water to halt the cooking process and prevent mushiness, then set aside.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream, stirring until smooth and well-integrated. Next, add the fresh chopped spinach, half of the grated Monterey Jack cheese, and minced garlic. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Gently fold the cooked pasta into the chicken mixture, ensuring that the pasta is evenly distributed and coated with the luscious creamy sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking. While it warms up, spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the chicken and pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the casserole, followed by the French fried onions.
- Place the assembled casserole in your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes
Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving; it helps the layers set, making it easier to scoop.
