Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up.
  2. Prepare the penne pasta by boiling it until just tender, then drain and keep it aside.
  3. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat; toss in the cooked chicken along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring until the seasoning covers every piece.
  4. In a spacious bowl, stir together the pasta, the seasoned chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, and peas until evenly blended.
  5. Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, smoothing the top out.
  6. Add a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan over the surface to create a cheesy crust.
  7. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and has turned a nice golden color.
  8. Take the casserole out and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving; finish by adding chopped fresh parsley if you like.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, swap regular pasta for whole wheat and sneak in extra veggies like mushrooms or spinach. Spice lovers can add some red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture. To keep it gluten-free, opt for gluten-free pasta and check that your Alfredo sauce is gluten-free too. Explore different cheeses such as Gruyère or fontina to customize the flavor.
