Instructions

1-How to Prepare the Perfect Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta Bake: Step-by-Step Guide Getting started with this creamy garlic parmesan chicken pasta bake is straightforward and fun, even if you’re new to baking. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and cooking the rotini pasta until it’s just al dente, then drain it well. This sets the foundation for a dish that’s creamy and full of flavor.

2-First and Second Steps: Prep and Cook Once your pasta is ready, combine it with the 3 cups of cooked chicken in a large bowl. In a separate pot, mix the 2 jars of Alfredo sauce with the 1 cup of garlic parmesan sauce, stirring in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and add reserved pasta water if you want a thinner consistency.

3-Mixing and Baking Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, then top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes until it’s bubbly and heated through, followed by a quick 2-3 minute broil for a golden finish. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley if you have it on hand for a nice touch. This method ensures the dish comes out perfectly every time, as outlined in the original recipe details.

Notes

🍗 Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time – it adds great flavor and makes this recipe even quicker to assemble
🌰 Add extra garlic to the sauce if you love bold flavors – fresh minced garlic can be sautéed in butter before adding to the sauce mixture
🧊 This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours – just add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking cold
