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.

Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • 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.

EASY CHICKEN ALFREDO



Easy Chicken Alfredo image

This recipe was actually made up by a quadriplegic guy that I used to care for when I was a private duty nurse. He would sit in his wheelchair in the kitchen and dictate every thing I was to do (even though I knew how), so that he felt like he was doing it all.

Provided by Miracle Miriam

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb boneless chicken breast
2 (4 7/8 ounce) boxes alfredo noodles mix
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen chopped broccoli

Steps:

  • Cut up chicken breasts into bite sized chunks and saute in a little oil or butter until cooked through.
  • While chicken is cooking, prepare the alfredo noodles in a large dutch oven, following package directions.
  • Steam the frozen broccoli in another pan using a steamer, or cook it in a pan until just done.** (Steaming is better for retaining nutrients.).
  • When all three are done, add the chicken and broccoli to the alfredo noodles.
  • Mix well and serve with some fresh French bread from the deli.
  • **Another thing you can do to steam the broccoli is to place it in a metal colander, and place the colander resting inside the dutch oven over the cooking noodles with a lid over the top. Convenient, eh?

CHICKEN ALFREDO CASSEROLE



Chicken Alfredo Casserole image

This family-friendly casserole is great for a large gathering. You can make and assemble it a day ahead, just bring it back to room temperature before baking. We like boneless skinless chicken thighs because they cook quickly and stay moist and tender.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 cloves garlic (4 crushed, 2 chopped)
3 wide strips lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 pound penne
6 cups small broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Butter an 11-by-14-inch or other 4-quart baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Put the chicken in a dutch oven or other large pot, then add the chicken broth, crushed garlic, lemon zest, rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. Partially cover and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (you should have 2 cups liquid; if necessary, add a little water to make 2 cups). When the chicken is cool enough to handle, tear or shred into small pieces. Wipe the dutch oven clean.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente, adding the broccoli during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Let drain in the colander while you make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste; cook until the flour is no longer raw, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the reserved 2 cups cooking liquid and the heavy cream; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Return to a simmer, whisking to make a smooth sauce. Cook over low heat until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan, the parsley and lemon juice. Add the chicken, pasta and broccoli and stir to coat. Transfer to the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the mozzarella. Bake until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh chicken, flavorful Alfredo sauce, and shredded Parmesan cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the Alfredo sauce is thick and creamy. A thin, watery Alfredo sauce will not coat the chicken and pasta well. If your sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to thicken it up.
  • Use a large baking dish. This will ensure that the chicken and pasta have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken Alfredo immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give baked chicken Alfredo a try. You won't be disappointed!
