  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mist a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Season with lemon-pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and pan-fry, stirring as needed, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 10 minutes.
  • While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Transfer chicken to a clean mixing bowl with drained pasta. Add tomatoes, both cans of condensed soup, peas, cauliflower and broccoli, basil, parsley, and oregano. Mix until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 42 minutes.
