Ingredients

Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk or half and half
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken stock (low sodium)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken breast (cooked and diced)
  • 16 ounces penne pasta (cooked to al dente)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded)

    • Garnish:

    • Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 9×13 inch baking dish or spray with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
  2. Prepare alfredo sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Whisk in the flour. Slowly whisk in the whole milk (or half and half) and heavy cream until fully incorporated. Whisk in the chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and increase heat to medium. Continue to cook, whisking often, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce has thickened slightly and is bubbling. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble: Place the cooked penne and diced chicken into the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over and toss to coat making sure the Alfredo sauce is fully incorporated.
  4. Top with cheese and bake: Top with the shredded mozzarella and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bubbly and hot.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage Information: Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
