Recipe // Pesto Chicken Alfredo Bake

Hi friends! Okay, I am by no means a chef or even the best cook in the world, I’m pretty positive I even touched on that in another post (linked here) that was also about food LOL. But I saw a variation of this recipe and wanted to try it for my own and when I asked on Instagram y’all said you wanted to see a post on it! So here we are, enjoy. Xx

Ingredients

• Two large chicken breast or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken
• 1/3 cup of pesto
• 2 15oz jars of your preferred alfredo sauce
• 1/3 cup of chicken stock
• 1 box of penne noodles
• 1 bag of mozzarella cheese
• paprika

To Cook

1. If you’re using chicken breast you need to season and cook those however you prefer them I put mine in the instant-pot with Italian seasoning and paprika for about 12 minutes. Once it’s done shred the chicken
2. Set oven to 350f
3. Boil noodles as directed
4. Mix chicken broth and alfredo
5. In a casserole dish layer a small amount of the sauce and pesto on the bottom of the dish. Then mix the chicken and noddles into the remaining sauce.
6. Pour the mixture into the pan and top with the remaining pesto.
7. Bake for 30 minutes
8. When done baking top with cheese and paprika and then bake for 5ish more minutes (or until the cheese is nice a bubbly)
9. Set and let cool for 5-10 minutes
10. Eat and enjoy!

Lots of love from the Tar Heel State
