Directions
Position oven rack 10 inches from broiler; preheat to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add oregano, garlic and chipotle; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in marinara; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add cream cheese and salt; cook, stirring, until the cream cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Add kale; cook, stirring constantly, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the pasta, chicken and 1 cup Gouda. Sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup Gouda.
Cover with foil and bake until the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; discard foil. Increase oven temperature to broil and preheat for 5 minutes. Return the pan to the oven; broil until the cheese is browned in a few spots, 3 to 5 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
