Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo Bake: A Comforting Family Favorite
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rotini pasta
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 Prise salt (to taste)
- 1 Prise pepper (to taste)
- 1 Prise fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rotini pasta, cooked chicken, blanched broccoli, and Alfredo sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once baked, allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
