Creamy Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Ingredients List
-
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
-
½ (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
-
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
-
¼ cup milk
-
1 tablespoon onion powder
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Cooking Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chicken in a pot and add enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 11 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta once done.
Once the chicken is cooked, drain it and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Chef’s Tip
Feel free to use any medium-sized pasta you prefer, such as ziti or large elbow macaroni.
If you're using the remaining half of a jar of Alfredo sauce, add some milk to the jar and swirl it around to get all of the sauce out.
