Chicken And Broccoli Baked Alfredo

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

Chicken and broccoli baked alfredo is the ultimate comfort food.

This recipe has everything you need for a satisfying dinner all in one casserole dish.

Easy to make dinners like this that can stand on their own are lifesavers during the busy school week.

I can just easily toss everything into the baking dish and serve it with no sides needed.

Cooking the broccoli together with the pasta and using jarred sauce is a huge time saver, too.

Recipes that are easy to make and also super delicious always have a permanent spot on my dinner menu.

My kids absolutely love whenever I make this for dinner. They’re both big fans of anything alfredo and this is no exception.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Chicken and broccoli baked alfredo variations

This recipe is great on its own, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Pasta- use whatever kind of pasta you’d like. Tube pasta works best here but it’s your choice.
• Alfredo sauce- jarred or homemade Alfredo sauce would work just fine for this recipe. Just be sure to use about two cups or whatever you choose.

• Cheese- I prefer mozzarella, but pepper jack, Munster or Gruyère would also be great, too. Just be sure to grate the cheese by hand no matter what you decide. It will melt way better that way.
• Broccoli- frozen broccoli or bagged steamed broccoli would be great substitutions for fresh broccoli florets. Just be sure they are thawed before adding them to the baking dish. They do not need to be boiled a head of time.

Chicken and broccoli baked alfredo ingredients

• Pasta of choice (I used rigatoni)
• Alfredo sauce
• Broccoli crowns, chopped into small pieces
• Parmesan cheese
• Rotisserie chicken, shredded
• Mozzarella cheese, hand shredded
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°

First, boil the pasta in salted water until 3-4 minutes under al dente. (Check the pasta package and follow the inflictions for al dente pasta).

Next, add the chopped broccoli to the boiling water and let that cook together with the pasta for the additional time until the pasta is al dente.

Now, in a colander, drain the water from the broccoli and pasta.

Then, add them both to a 9” x 13” baking dish.

Next, add the shredded chicken, alfredo sauce and season it with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Now stir everting together until it’s evenly combined and smooth it out so the mixture is even and level.

Then, top it with grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Next, bake it, uncovered, at 350° for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sides are hot and bubbly.

Finally, let it cool slightly, serve warm and enjoy!
