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.

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.
