Chicken Alfredo Bake (Booyah!)

My good friend Mike has shared his magic chicken alfredo recipe with many of us at work. It always smells so good and even Kim has sung its praises (which, hey, if Kim likes it then you know its safe) However, here in the Fortress of Blood, simple recipes simply do not exist. I was prepared to kick it up a notch in the name of culinary greatness.

What you are about to witness is the fusion of Mike's Magic Chicken and a dash of ripping off Pizza Hut's pasta bakes.

INGREDIENTS!!!
3 Boneless Chicken Breasts
2 Packages of Mostacolli
2 Jars Alfredo Sauce
8oz Package Shredded Mozzarella
Parsley and Oregano to taste

Warning: It may not seem like it, but this makes 8 very very large adult portions.


We begin by making about half-inch cuts of the chicken breasts and tossing them into a frying pan. I use a pretty nice non-stick pan and used only a little cooking spray just to ease the initial scoring of the meat. As with most of my cooking I try to keep oil usage to a minimum. At this point you'll want to start boiling your noodles, they should be done just about the same time your chicken is.


Here I put in the parsley and oregano. These two herbs will add excellent flavor to your chicken. You'll want to cook the chicken until its just barely done cooking. The chicken will be spending some time in the oven so its ok if its a tad underdone at this point.


When the noodles are still just a little chewy but almost finished, poor them into your baking pan. I used a glass 9x13 cake pan... however my noodles almost blasted all over the place so you'll either want a bigger pan or less noodles. Poor the alfredo sauce straight from the jar onto the noodles and stir.


Top this off with your chicken and a layer of delicious cheesy goodness. This will go into the oven at 350 for roughly 15-20 minutes. You want the cheese to slightly brown, so I'd recommend checking it at the 15 minute mark and every 5 minutes past that. Total cooking time for mine was 23 minutes.


From start to finish this took about 35 minutes, so its a great item that you can wip up with not a lot of time. That right there is some good eatin'!! Bring big appetites or a lot of people!
