Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta Bake

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic Parmesan sauce, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture seems too thick, add about ½ cup of the reserved pasta water to achieve a creamier texture.

Step 3

Transfer the creamy pasta mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top for that irresistible cheese pull.

Step 4

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. The goal is for the cheese to melt and everything to become bubbly and aromatic.

Step 5

If you love a golden, crispy top, remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 6

Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and watch it disappear!
