DUMP AND BAKE CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA CASSEROLE



Dump and Bake Chicken Alfredo Pasta Casserole image

You only need 10 minutes of prep and one dish for this easy Dump-and-Bake Chicken Alfredo Pasta Casserole. You don't even have to boil the pasta!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 48m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked rotini pasta
22 oz jar Alfredo sauce (about 1 very large 22-ounce jar or 1 ½ 15-ounce jars) ((approximately 2 ½ cups total))
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups diced rotisserie chicken ((or other diced cooked chicken))
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella ((or Italian blend cheese))
Optional: Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs ((such as basil, oregano, and parsley for garnish))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large baking dish, stir together uncooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, chicken stock, chicken and garlic. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover; give the pasta a good stir. At this point you should check the pasta to make sure that it is al dente (firm but with a tender bite). I have had good luck with the 30-minute cook time; however, some readers have noted that it required about 10 or 15 minutes longer. If it's still too hard after 30 minutes, just cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is al dente. Then move on to the next step.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella over the top. Bake uncovered for 8-10 more minutes (or until cheese is melted and pasta is tender).
  • Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan or fresh chopped herbs, if desired.

CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO



Creamy Chicken Alfredo image

I learned how to make creamy chicken Alfredo from my dad who has always been an incredible cook and amazing teacher. Chicken Alfredo was always my favorite. A lot of the recipes I see that are worthwhile are too much work because you have to make your own sauce, and those that don't have you make your own have no flavor. This recipe shows you how to take plain, bland, store-made sauce and make it more than restaurant-worthy.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (16 ounce) packages thin spaghetti
4 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups chopped broccoli

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook thin spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add Alfredo sauce to the chicken along with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion, basil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne. Bring to a slight boil; stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook mixture until cheese is melted and you are able to lift a spoon out of the sauce without cheese hanging onto it, 3 to 5 minutes.

CHICKEN ALFREDO CASSEROLE



Chicken Alfredo Casserole image

This family-friendly casserole is great for a large gathering. You can make and assemble it a day ahead, just bring it back to room temperature before baking. We like boneless skinless chicken thighs because they cook quickly and stay moist and tender.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 cloves garlic (4 crushed, 2 chopped)
3 wide strips lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 pound penne
6 cups small broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Butter an 11-by-14-inch or other 4-quart baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Put the chicken in a dutch oven or other large pot, then add the chicken broth, crushed garlic, lemon zest, rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. Partially cover and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (you should have 2 cups liquid; if necessary, add a little water to make 2 cups). When the chicken is cool enough to handle, tear or shred into small pieces. Wipe the dutch oven clean.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente, adding the broccoli during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Let drain in the colander while you make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste; cook until the flour is no longer raw, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the reserved 2 cups cooking liquid and the heavy cream; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Return to a simmer, whisking to make a smooth sauce. Cook over low heat until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan, the parsley and lemon juice. Add the chicken, pasta and broccoli and stir to coat. Transfer to the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the mozzarella. Bake until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To make a creamy Alfredo sauce, start by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
  • To cook the chicken, you can either pan-fry it or bake it in the oven. If you are pan-frying the chicken, be sure to season it with salt and pepper before cooking. Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • To assemble the casserole, simply layer the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, and cooked pasta in a baking dish. Top with shredded cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your casserole, such as vegetables, bacon, or mushrooms.

Conclusion:

Easy creamy chicken Alfredo casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences by adding different ingredients. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this casserole a try.
