Chicken Alfredo Casserole
My kids LOVE this Chicken Alfredo Casserole. Made with a simple homemade Alfredo sauce and tossed in pasta with chicken. Bake and serve with your favorite vegetable or salad.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 16 oz bow tie pasta
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 cups parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- 1 pound chicken (cooked and cut)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low/medium heat. Slowly mix in heavy cream once butter is about melted
- Add in garlic. Slowly add in shredded parmesan cheese. Whisking until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy. Once creamy season with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked pasta to your prepared casserole dish. Mix in chicken and then sauce. Mix until pasta and chicken is coated in alfredo sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is warm throughout. Optional: serve garnished with parsley.
Notes
- Time-Saving Tip: If you don't want to make your own you can use a jar alfredo sauce in the place of homemade.
Serving Options:
I served mine garnished with fresh diced parsley (for looks) and with a salad on the side.Nutrition
