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.
