If you are a fan of my french onion chicken or just a fan of french onion soup I think you will really enjoy this dish. I love pasta as much as the next person but it can be a little point heavy and that’s why I love creating pasta bake recipes. This french onion chicken pasta bake is full of flavor and a nice hearty meal, makes 6 servings at just 5 smart points per serving on WW freestyle.

I am wondering where I put the onions. Do they get mixed in or put on top and then covered with cheese?? I couldn’t find it in the recipe.
Sorry they are mixed in with everything as shown in the picture, I have added it to the directions
😋 yummy
