Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Alfredo Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a pot and place your chicken breasts inside, covering them with water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a lively boil over high heat, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Step 4
As the chicken cooks, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a boil.
Step 5
Toss in the penne pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, which should take around 11 minutes until it’s perfectly al dente.
Step 6
Once the pasta is done, drain it and set it aside.
Step 7
When your chicken is ready, drain it as well and cut it into bite-sized pieces, making it easy to enjoy in every mouthful.
Step 8
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, drained penne pasta, creamy Alfredo sauce, one cup of mozzarella cheese, a splash of milk, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 9
Stir everything together until it’s well mixed and looks delicious.
Step 10
Now, transfer this tasty mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 11
To finish, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and a generous handful of Cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible cheesy goodness.
Step 12
Pop the casserole into your preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
Step 13
Enjoy your delightful chicken and penne casserole, perfect for a comforting meal any day of the week!.
