Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked pasta (spiral or penne)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 3 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the chicken by dicing or shredding it into bite-sized pieces.

  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Smooth out the top.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the mixture.
  9. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for added crunch.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
  11. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking.
  12. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for freshness before serving the Chicken Alfredo Casserole.
