I tried a new recipe last week that was incredibly easy. If you like Alfredo, you'll like this one. The thing that made it easy was that you didn't have to cook the pasta before putting it in the oven. I wondered how that would work, but the pasta turned out perfect. I had try to keep shredded chicken in the freezer, so all I had to do was throw it together and bake it. Easy and good!
1 box pasta (I used bow tie)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups chopped spinach
1 jar alfredo sauce
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Stir together alfredo sauce and chicken broth. Then stir in pasta, chicken, spinach and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Place in greased 9x13 pan and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Cover tightly with foil and place in oven. Bake for 40 minutes.
Remove foil, stir and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
*I did half of this recipe and put it in a 7x10 pan. It was still enough for 2 meals.
It looks delicious. I like everything but the Alfredo sauce. I wonder if you could use a tomato sauce instead.
ReplyDeleteAnd you didn't cook the pasta before - easy!!!!
Chatty Crone - I think tomato based pasta sauce would work just as well as Alfredo.
ReplyDeleteYum! I am making this!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I want to try this! I like to buy Costco rotisserie chicken and shred it. This looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe don’t have Alfredo sauce but any kind of tomato sauce will do so I think I can try.
ReplyDeleteIt is quick and sounds delicious
Oh Yummy. I'll be trying this one!!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be giving this a try. We enjoy Alfredo. This recipe sounds so quick and easy. I often use Alfredo sauce in place of the red sauce on our homemade pizza.
ReplyDeleteI love chicken Alfredo and this sounds and looks easy and delicious! And if I can get two meals out if, even better!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds soo very good! I love simple easy recipes that are fast to make!
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great that you didn't have to cook the pasta first. I know I have lasagna noodles that cook in the oven, but I never tried other pasta before. That really sounds good.
ReplyDeleteAnother keeper!! Thanks, Mari!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great and so up Matt's alley (he's a big alfredo guy - my kiddos are too!) Already copied. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes please. I'll even take seconds. Janice
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I stopped cooking noodles decades ago for bakes like this. Just works so well. Stuffed shells, lasagna, all that good stuff. I just skip the cooking and put those babies in hard. Delightful.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. So glad to get the recipe since we have homecoming at our church Sunday. Can't wait to try the new recipe.
ReplyDeleteMmm...I love alfredo sauce and now that I'm allowed to eat cheese again, I might give this one a try on a chilly night!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds delicious! 😋
ReplyDeleteI love that you don't have to cook the pasta first—so convenient!
I’ll definitely try this Chicken Alfredo Bake.
Thanks for sharing, Mari!
That looks really good!
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like a very tasty recipe!! As I see it's very easy, I'm thinking of trying it! Have a beautiful week!
