🥦 Chicken and Broccoli Baked Alfredo 🧀

"Satisfy Your Cravings with a Hearty, Homestyle Meal!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
- 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 cups creamy Alfredo sauce
- 1 lb rigatoni pasta
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
2. Boil the rigatoni pasta in a pot of salted water until it is slightly underdone, about 3-4 minutes less than the package suggests. Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
3. Drain the pasta and broccoli thoroughly.
4. In a large baking dish (9x13 inches), combine the drained pasta and broccoli, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
5. Evenly sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and slightly golden.
7. Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
