Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

From Start to Finish: Creamy Alfredo Chicken Bake

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • If using leftover cooked chicken, shred it finely with your hands or forks. Toss the shredded chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
  • Add the cooked pasta and seasoned chicken into the bowl with the Alfredo sauce mixture. Gently fold everything together until the pasta and chicken are completely coated with the creamy sauce.
  • Lightly grease your baking dish with a bit of olive oil or nonstick spray. Pour the creamy pasta and chicken mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover) saves time and keeps the chicken tender and flavorful.
  • Feel free to swap fettuccine with other pasta shapes that hold sauce well, like penne or rigatoni.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half the mozzarella with part-skim cheese and use a lower-fat Alfredo sauce.
