Cheesy Baked Chicken Alfredo is the ultimate easy, family-pleasing weeknight meal, with pasta, grilled chicken, and broccoli, all tossed in a creamy Alfredo sauce and topped with melty mozzarella cheese.
Friends, I have to apologize that it has been a VERY LONG TIME since I’ve posted a recipe. To be honest, a lot of crazy stuff has been going on in my life. I gave birth to a baby boy, my Brendan Sean, at the end of June. Isn’t he the cutest little guy you’ve ever seen?!
I also got divorced and have recently moved into a new house. So you could say life has been pretty hectic the past few months. But one dish I have turned to time and time again during the craziness is this Cheesy Baked Chicken Alfredo. It’s super easy AND all of my kiddos love it—even my super picky 6-year old!
I love that it just requires a handful of ingredients, most of which I usually have on hand anyway. We’re talking penne pasta (or you can use whatever kind you have), Tyson grilled chicken strips that you just zap in the microwave, steamables broccoli that you also nuke in the microwave, shredded mozzarella, and—my favorite—Bertolli’s basil Alfredo, which is basically what you’d get if Alfredo sauce and pesto had an incredibly scrumptious baby.
And guess what? Leftovers are even delicious! So if you’re looking for an easy weeknight meal that’s perfect for fall and that you can whip up lickety split, you gotta try this Cheesy Baked Chicken Alfredo. It’s sure to be a rotation regular!
