What Is Alfredo?

Alfredo is a creamy sauce made from butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Alfredo is best made and eaten straight away. You can use Alfredo for coating broccoli or, most famously, fettuccine. Here, we’re partnering it with pasta and golden crispy chicken breast for a dinner that can make even the most regular Thursday night feel special.

Just bake up a couple of chicken breasts, use any shape pasta you like, and make a cheesy yummy casserole! Serve with a delicious green salad!

Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Serving Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Chicken Alfredo is so rich and delicious, just serve it with broccoli or a light salad on the side. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, be sure to have those sides ready before building the sauce. Remember that you can use this same basic sauce recipe to coat other pasta, proteins, or vegetables.

Chicken Alfredo Pasta is the perfect comfort food. Everyone loved it and the whole casserole dish disappeared quickly!

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces ziti (or any pasta shape)
  • 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken (about 2 small chicken breasts)
  • 1 batch alfredo sauce (see below)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I used 2% low fat)
  • (optional toppings: additional shredded Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley)
  • Alfredo Sauce Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup low-fat milk (I used 1%)
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cook the pasta al dente in a large stockpot of well-salted boiling according to package instructions. Drain. Return pasta to the stockpot and add chicken and alfredo sauce. Gently toss to combine until the pasta is evenly coated.

Pour half of the pasta into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of cheese. Layer the remaining half of the pasta evenly on top. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and just barely starts to turn golden. Remove and serve immediately, sprinkled with additional toppings if desired.

To Make The Alfredo Sauce:

Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute one minute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Sprinkle with flour, and stir to combine. Saute for an additional minute to cook the flour, stirring occasionally.

Slowly add chicken broth, whisking to combine until smooth. Whisk in milk, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let cook for an additional minute until thickened, then stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the cheese melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
