Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta well.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained pasta, cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture. Add a light sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
- Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save preparation time.
- For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-shredded.
- If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes.
