Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 3 cups cooked pasta (penne or rotini works best)
  • 2 cups alfredo sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked pasta, and alfredo sauce. Add garlic powder if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well coated with the sauce.
  3. Assemble in Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired to add a fresh flavor and color.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
  • Feel free to add steamed vegetables like broccoli or spinach for added nutrition.
  • Substitute whole wheat pasta for a fiber boost.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add extra baking time if starting cold.
  • To make it lighter, use a reduced-fat Alfredo sauce or less cheese.
