This Chicken Alfredo Bake brings together everything you love about classic Alfredo and transforms it into a rich, oven-baked comfort dish. The pasta becomes perfectly coated in a creamy, homemade Alfredo sauce, while tender pieces of chicken add heartiness to every bite. As the casserole bakes, the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling layer that makes this dish as irresistible to serve as it is to eat.
What makes this recipe so appealing is its simplicity paired with its luxurious texture. The sauce comes together quickly on the stovetop, creating a silky blend of butter, cream, milk, and two types of cheese. Once combined with pasta and chicken, the flavors meld beautifully in the oven, creating a warm and satisfying dish ideal for family dinners or weeknight meals.

This bake is also wonderfully adaptable. You can easily incorporate vegetables like broccoli or spinach for added nutrition or swap the chicken for other proteins without losing the comforting essence of the dish. Serve it fresh out of the oven with a sprinkle of parsley for freshness and a side of garlic bread for the ultimate cozy meal.
