Ingredients

  • 16 ounce jar Alfredo

OR Homemade Alfredo Sauce

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Pasta

  • 16 ounces rigatoni pasta penne works, too
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 ounce packet Ranch seasoning
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Alfredo Sauce (if making homemade)

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine and melt the cheese.

Pasta

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • To a 9x13" baking dish add the pasta, chicken, bacon, and ranch seasoning. Top with the Alfredo sauce and chicken broth and give it a little stir.
  • Top the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese and stir well. Cover with foil and let sit for a couple of minutes to let the cheese completely melt.
  • Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded chicken to make this recipe super easy.
  • This recipe is delicious with homemade or jarred Alfredo sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 
  • Half and half can be used in place of heavy cream, if you'd prefer.
  • Shred the Parmesan cheese from a block if possible. It will melt and taste much better.
  • Any kind of pasta can be used for this recipe. WE love using rigatoni or Cavatappi. 
  • Add a cup or two of frozen mixed vegetables for a boost of nutrition!
