This Chicken Alfredo casserole is comforting, satisfying, and so delicious! And since it's a dump-and-go meal, it's easy to make, too!

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
  • 1 package penne pasta
  • 1 jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken pieces until they are no longer pink in the centers. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are softened and translucent, and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly firm, about 11 minutes. Drain the cooked pasta.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, onion, garlic, cooked penne pasta, Alfredo sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and milk. Stir until evenly mixed.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
