Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets

Pasta and Sauce

  • 8 oz penne or rotini pasta
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Cheese and Seasonings

  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, broccoli florets, bite-sized chicken pieces, and Alfredo sauce. Mix until everything is well coated.
  5. Assemble Bake: Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the pasta mixture into the dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy chicken and broccoli Alfredo bake!

Notes

  • You can use store-bought Alfredo sauce for convenience or make your own for a fresher taste.
  • Feel free to substitute broccoli with other vegetables like cauliflower or spinach for variety.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some crushed red pepper or Italian seasoning before baking.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, broil the bake for the last 2-3 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
