Baked Chicken Alfredo (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound rigatoni pasta.
02 - 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded.
03 - 2 cups creamy Alfredo sauce.
04 - 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets.
05 - 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese.

08 - 1 tbsp garlic powder.

Instructions:

04 - Drain the pasta and broccoli thoroughly, then transfer them to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
05 - Add the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the dish, stirring to combine.
06 - Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the mixture.
07 - Bake uncovered in the oven until the cheese topping is golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
