Description

This quick and easy take on chicken Alfredo is in casserole form, loaded with mozzarella and Cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
1/2 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place chicken into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
3 At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
4 Drain cooked chicken and cut into bite-size pieces.
5 Place chicken, noodles, Alfredo sauce, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix well.
6 Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Layer remaining mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
