I love this recipe! It is very fast and simple, and I am able to re-purpose the leftovers from the day before. And the best thing about it is my 2 teenagers get their veggies and don't complain!

How To Make chicken & macaroni alfredo casserole

Step 1

Pre-Heat the oven at 350 degrees.

Step 2

Boil Macaroni in lightly salted water. Chop or shred Chicken & steam the Sweet Peas in the microwave while the Macaroni is cooking. Drain the Macaroni and set aside.
Step 3

Put the Alfredo Sauce, chicken, sweet peas, minced garlic, onion powder, and salt & pepper in a large pot and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 4

Tip: * Add more sauce for a richer dish. * You may also substitute any veggie for sweet peas. * Season to your taste.
Step 5

Stir the Macaroni into the Sauce mixture until all are coated. Pour it into a Casserole dish. Top with the Mozzarella Cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese(optional) and the Dry Parsley.
Step 6

Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly brown.
