Ingredients

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup minced fresh basil
1 small onion, diced
16 ounces baby spinach
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
While the macaroni is cooking, combine chicken, Swiss and mozzarella cheeses, mayonnaise, basil, and onion in a bowl. Add spinach, condensed soup, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper; mix to combine.
Drain macaroni. Gently stir into the chicken mixture. Transfer to an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Toss bread crumbs with melted butter; sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.
