Creating Lemon Chicken Pasta Bake is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps for success:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook Pasta: Boil the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta to the chicken mixture. Toss gently until the pasta is evenly distributed.
5. Transfer to Dish: Pour the pasta and chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Add Topping: Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs over the top of the dish for a crunchy topping.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
8. Cool Slightly: Once out of the oven, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
