Chicken Alfredo Bake

This Chicken Alfredo Bake combines roasted chicken, homemade creamy alfredo sauce, and pasta, all topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese and oven-baked to melted perfection. This, my friends, is the ultimate comfort food meal and one of my family’s favorites.

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups grated parmesan

Instructions :

  1. Put a large pot of salted water on to boil.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning, Cook for 1 minute while stirring continuously. Add the heavy whipping cream and simmer until slightly thickened. Do not boil.
