BAKED CHICKEN ALFREDO



Baked Chicken Alfredo image

This recipe is quick and easy and any novice cook can do it. It was made for the little ones who always wanted to order out at Pizza Hut® or Olive Garden®. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. This recipe can also be eaten without being baked but the kids love that it resembles baked casseroles found in restaurants.

Time 1h8m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
½ cup butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 chicken breasts, patted dry
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic; saute until golden, about 30 seconds. Stir in cream cheese until smooth. Add milk; stir until there are no lumps. Lower heat to medium. Add 3/4 of the Parmesan cheese, parsley, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and garlic powder on both sides. Cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 6 minutes per side. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Butter bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Cover bottom with a layer of pasta. Place half of the chicken cubes on top. Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the chicken. Repeat layering pasta, chicken, and sauce. Sprinkle top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until cheese is golden, about 5 minutes more.

TUSCAN BAKED CHICKEN ALFREDO RUSTICA



Tuscan Baked Chicken Alfredo Rustica image

This is so yummy and my husband's favorite. Although I did use bow tie pasta, I like to change it up and use penne and about 1 small package of frozen peas thawed.

Provided by Annamaria Settanni McDonald

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

PASTA INGREDIENTS
16 oz penne or bow tie pasta
alfredo sauce (see recipe below)
4 chicken breasts or chopped up rotisserie chicken
8 oz bacon or prosciutto cooked and chopped
20 oz marinated artichokes drained and chopped
1/4 c onions diced and lightly pan sauteed
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
salt & pepper to taste
add a package of frozens peas thawed if you'd like
ALFREDO SAUCE
4 c milk
8 oz cream cheese
4 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
4 clove of garlic
2 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Pasta: Preheat oven to 350. Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, prepare Alfredo Sauce. When pasta is done, drain and add to the sauce. Toss with chopped chicken, bacon, artichoke hearts, onions, and 1 c. mozzarella. Season to taste. Transfer mixture to an 2-4 quart baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 c. mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
  • 2. Alfredo Sauce: Toss the milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender. Process until smooth and set aside. In a non-stick sauce pan, melt butter on med-high heat and add garlic. Let the garlic saute for about 30 seconds, you don't want to burn it. Then add milk mixture to the pan. Stir constantly for about 3 or 4 minutes or until it just comes to a simmer. It should be nice and bubbly. Keep stirring and let it cook for a few minutes more. It should be much thicker now. When it's nice and thick (it should look as thick as a normal alfredo sauce) remove the pan from the heat. Add the cheese, stir it up and then cover immediately. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before using. It will continue to thicken upon standing. Also, if you have leftovers in the fridge, the sauce will thicken almost into a solid. Just re-heat and add a little milk and it will be back to normal again.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well for this recipe. If you use chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Sear the chicken before baking. This will help to lock in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and pasta without being too runny.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve immediately. Chicken Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce as it sits, making it less creamy.

Conclusion:

Chicken Alfredo is a classic dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it with chicken, shrimp, or vegetables, Chicken Alfredo is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.
