Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300ºF. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cook Pasta: Cook linguine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, melted butter, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the sauce mixture and gently stir to combine everything thoroughly.
Assemble Casserole: Pour the pasta and chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and dried parsley on top. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake Covered: Bake the casserole covered with foil for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, allowing the flavors to meld and the dish to heat through.
Finish Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
