Chicken Alfredo Pasta is such a warm and cozy meal! But sometimes, you just don’t have time to stand over the stove to make homemade sauce and boil noodles. This recipe is perfect when you are looking for an easy, quick night meal! Best part, there is no pre-boil required for this pasta dish! You literally throw everything together in the dish, bake, and eat! While the pasta is baking, clean the kitchen, make the side dishes, make lunches for the next day….so much more time to get stuff done while this dish is cooking. Dinner will be ready in less than an hour!
This pasta dish is creamy, with notes of garlic and it has chicken. Now you will have to make shredded chicken ahead of time for this recipe. I recommend cooking it in the crockpot before/day of, shred it and then it will be ready to go. As always, I love to hear your thoughts and I hope you enjoy this quick yet warm/cozy meal!
