Baked Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

In a large bowl, chop up 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you could use canned chicken or rotisserie chicken).

Add in seasoning mix.

2 tsp. minced garlic

2 jars premade alfredo sauce (though you could make this low carb and make your alfredo sauce, which is super easy)

4 chicken bouillon cubes

3 c. water

16 oz. pasta, uncooked (I had elbow noodles on hand, but anything can be used)

A small package of frozen broccoli

Directions

Stir it all together—Preheat the oven to 425.

Place in greased 13×9 pan and cover it with aluminum foil.

I put mine on a cookie sheet to keep it from boiling over.

Cook for 30-40 minutes. Now, you will remove it from the oven. Be sure and stir to check the noodles’ doneness. If not done, re-cover and put back in the range for about 10 more minutes.

When the noodles and chicken are cooked, uncover the dish.

Top with Mozzarella and Parmesan and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

Be sure and cut up the broccoli for the sake of your kids. My kids don’t mind, but some kids balk at the fact they are eating broccoli. Honestly, I would make my alfredo sauce. I can control what goes in it, and it tastes better. This Baked Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo is the perfect meal for a busy weeknight, combining creamy alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and hearty pasta in a single dish. It’s simple to prepare and great for family dinners. The pasta and chicken cook together, soaking up all the delicious flavors, and the broccoli adds a healthy, colorful touch. If you prefer a homemade alfredo sauce, it’s easy to make and can be customized to suit your preferences, whether you want to make it richer or lighter. This dish is filling and satisfying, making it a great go-to comfort food for any night of the week.

Fantastical Chicken Asparagus Casserole

Fantastical Chicken Asparagus Casserole

Fantastical Chicken Asparagus Casserole. This was one of those “made-up” meals. It was so freaking good! I love experimenting. There have been some fantastic creations that have come out of my kitchen. However, there have been some serious stinkers that I’m thankful the chickens will eat! I hate wasting food.

4-6 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded (I used a whole small chicken that I cooked in the crockpot, always saving the broth, of course)

1 bag of real bacon bits

1-2 bunches of fresh asparagus snapped and washed

1 container of fresh mushrooms

Seasoning

Roux

3 T. flour

3 T. butter

Melt in the pan. Remove pan from heat.

Add 1 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream and stir until well mixed.

Return to heat.

Add 1 1/2 c. mozzarella

Seasoning

Fantastical Chicken Asparagus Casserole

In a greased 13×9 pan, layer cooked shredded chicken. Top with asparagus spears. Add mushrooms and bacon bits. Sprinkle with seasoning.

Pour over roux sauce.

Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Uncover and cook for 15 minutes.

Enjoy. Fantastical Chicken Asparagus Casserole was a great meal, and I’m so thankful that all my kids either love asparagus or tolerate it beautifully! I could do asparagus with a bit of butter and saute all day long. It is so good and so good for you.
