Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake. A creamy, cheesy, and hearty dish that combines tender chicken, rich Alfredo sauce, and a blend of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses, all baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or impressing guests at your next gathering.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and return to pot.
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Alfredo sauce, sour cream, ricotta cheese, minced garlic, cooked chicken, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Fold in the cooked pasta until evenly coated.
Assemble the bake: Transfer half of the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with one cup of mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining pasta mixture and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. For a crispier top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
Make Ahead: Assemble the bake up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Freezing: Prepare the bake without baking, cover tightly with foil, and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed.
Substitutions: For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with roasted vegetables. Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free dish.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
