This quick chicken casserole recipe comes together super easy and makes a great option for a weeknight dinner. All you have to do is boil some pasta al dente, mix it with some shredded chicken meat, a jar of Alfredo sauce, add it to a baking dish, spread shredded mozzarella on top and bake it for 20 minutes! That easy :)
Leftovers taste sooo great and this dish also freezes well, making it one of those perfect make ahead recipes to be reheated when convenient. There are some recipes that are just guaranteed to be a hit with the kids and they usually involve some creamy pasta! You can add pretty much anything next to it and you’ll get clean plates by the end of the dinner time.
The best thing about this Chicken Casserole recipe is how easy you can customize it to your liking. You can add vegetables to it, bacon, anything that you’d prefer. You can use rotisserie chicken, leftovers chicken meat or even poached chicken. I used store-bought Alfredo sauce for this recipe, but feel free to make your own sauce if preferred. You can use any kind of pasta you want. I used penne but there’s ziti and rigatoni.
