Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- If you’re using fresh broccoli, separate it into florets and steam for about 3-4 minutes until just tender. If using frozen, follow the package instructions to heat it. Drain any excess water.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella and half of the Parmesan into the mixture.
Baking
- Pour the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Pop that beauty in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serving
- Once out of the oven, let it sit for a few minutes. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top if desired, and serve.
Notes
Use pre-shredded chicken or a rotisserie chicken to save time. Pair this dish with a side salad or garlic bread.
