And full disclosure, this is most definitely not an authentic alfredo sauce &#8211; but I don&#8217;t mean for it to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just a great recipe with simple ingredients that is full of amazing flavor and doesn&#8217;t take me hours to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don&#8217;t be put off by the list of ingredients for this chicken alfredo recipe.  The dish is very simple, despite the seemingly numerous ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this family favorite freezer meal, you&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>dry pasta<\/strong> &#8211; I prefer to use penne pasta here, but you can make it with the more traditional fettuccine noodles or pick your favorite kind of pasta to substitute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>boneless skinless chicken breasts<\/strong> &#8211; You&#8217;ll need to cook and dice these beforehand, but I REALLY, really recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/freezer-staples-grilled-chicken\/\">diced grilled chicken<\/a> here, as it lends a subtle but rich flavor profile to the dish that plain cooked chicken just doesn&#8217;t quite achieve on its own.  Another option to speed things up if time is of the essence is to use rotisserie chicken here, or you could even use leftover chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>butter<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s important you use the real stuff here.  Please.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>all-purpose flour<\/strong> &#8211; This is totally not part of an authentic alfredo sauce recipe but it&#8217;s necessary here to help with freezability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>minced garlic<\/strong> &#8211; You can use pre-minced from the store or mince your own.  If you really want to kick up the flavor profile, roast your garlic beforehand.  Out of this world amazing!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>heavy whipping cream<\/strong> &#8211; This is also sold under the name &#8220;heavy cream&#8221; here in the US, or as &#8220;double cream&#8221; if you are outside the US.  (Yes, I know they aren&#8217;t quite the same but they are about as close as possible and will yield an almost identical result in this recipe.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>garlic salt<\/strong> &#8211; This is optional buy HIGHLY recommended, especially if you like garlic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>white pepper<\/strong> &#8211; You can absolutely use regular black pepper here if you want to skip buying an extra ingredient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>shredded Parmesan cheese<\/strong> &#8211; buying a wedge and shredding it yourself will always be the better choice, but pre-shredded works here in a pinch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>shredded Mozzarella cheese<\/strong> &#8211; Honestly, I just use the pre-shredded here, because I&#8217;m lazy.  \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>cream cheese<\/strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t substitute a lower fat Neufchatel or whipped option here as this really needs to be the regular block stuff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>parsley<\/strong> &#8211; You&#8217;ll want fresh, as a garnish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Phew!  That was a long list, but again, don&#8217;t get scared off just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, on to how to make this amazing make-ahead chicken alfredo bake!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image921_7c3ab4-12 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image921_7c3ab4-12 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken Alfredo Bake cooked in a rectangular white baking dish, topped with melted mozzarella cheese and garnished with fresh green parsley.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-4082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ChickenAlfredoBake_Hero2020_Compressed-682x1024.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_280944-11, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_280944-11[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_280944-11\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_280944-11 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_280944-11[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_280944-11\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading921_280944-11 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_280944-11\">Preparing Your Chicken Alfredo Bake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, start by preparing your pasta following the package directions.

Remove your chicken alfredo pasta bake from the freezer the night before you plan to serve it.  Place it in the refrigerator and allow it to thaw overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When dinner time rolls around, bake your alfredo dish at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, until the top begins to brown just slightly and the alfredo sauce is bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For easy weeknight meals, serve this with a simple green salad.  And if you don&#8217;t mind garlic, this pairs so nicely with garlic bread!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image921_844f13-ff .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image921_844f13-ff size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed.jpg\" alt=\"Backlit shot of Chicken Alfredo Bake in a white baking dish with parsley garnish.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-82804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp1_compressed-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_657390-ba, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_657390-ba[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_657390-ba\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_657390-ba mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_657390-ba[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_657390-ba\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading921_657390-ba wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_657390-ba\">Customize Your Alfredo Bake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe is a great jumping-off point for a fabulous meal that the entire family will enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don&#8217;t hesitate to be creative and try new variations, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Garlic Alfredo Comfort in a Dish:<\/strong> Increase the minced garlic to 1 1\/2 tablespoons and add 1 teaspoon of garlic salt.

Up the ante even further by tossing in some cooked and crumbled bacon while you&#8217;re at it!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato Basil Chicken Alfredo Bake:<\/strong> Chop up some sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.  Mix them into the alfredo sauce for a nice Mediterranean flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pesto Chicken Alfredo Bake:<\/strong> Mix in some pesto sauce with your homemade alfredo sauce for a vibrant and herby flavor. You could even add in small cherry tomatoes for extra color and taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spinach &amp; Mushroom Alfredo Bake:<\/strong> Add some sauteed spinach and diced mushrooms to the alfredo mixture before freezing or baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zesty Chicken Alfredo Bake:<\/strong> Add in diced bell peppers, onions, and some red pepper flakes for a zesty, spicy twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to experiment with these variations, or combine several to make your own unique chicken alfredo creation!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image921_f58b90-be .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image921_f58b90-be size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed.jpg\" alt=\"Angled shot of Chicken Alfredo Bake in a baking dish and garnished with fresh parsley.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-82805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ChickenAlfredoBake_CloseUp2_compressed-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_43f3a9-1f\">A Note About Reheating Alfredo Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfredo sauce can be very finicky when it comes to reheating!  It is very prone to &#8220;breaking&#8221; or splitting (where the fats and oils separate out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have tested this recipe a LOT, and have made some modifications over time to help avoid this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the flour in the homemade alfredo sauce is not traditional, but has been added to help the sauce freeze and reheat without separating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(If you are not freezing this dish, you can omit the flour if you want.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while I have tested this sauce multiple times, both as a full dish and just as a sauce itself, and have not been able to get it to break consistently, I do occasionally still get reports of people having the sauce break on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help avoid this, here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Use very gentle heat when reheating.  Reheat your leftovers SLOWLY, using low or medium heat. Never microwave, as that is almost guaranteed to cause your sauce to split.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir frequently while reheating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add additional liquid if this sauce seems too thick or starts to separate (milk or cream both work).  Be sure to add the liquid slowly and stir well after each addition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not let the sauce come to a boil.  This is yet another surefire way to cause separation.  You want a low and slow simmer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully these tips will help you have success when reheating your chicken alfredo bake so you can enjoy every single bite of all that creamy deliciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading921_10ef8b-09\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698704384281\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make Chicken Alfredo Bake ahead of time?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely!  This dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.  Just cover your assembled dish tightly with foil or plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.  When you&#8217;re ready to bake, remove the covering and following the baking instructions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698704437570\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I freeze Chicken Alfredo Bake?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You sure can!  It&#8217;s best to freeze it before baking.  Prepare the dish as instructed but skip the baking step.  Cover tightly with a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil, and place it in the freezer.  When you&#8217;re ready to enjoy it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then bake according to the instructions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698704510729\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I substitute the pasta in this Chicken Alfredo Bake?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Certainly!  While traditional Chicken Alfredo is made with fettucine, and Alfredo bakes are usually made with penne, you can absolutely experiment with different types of pasta.  Try using rotini, rigatoni, or even macaroni for a fun twist.  Sometimes I make this with bowtie pasta for my kids.  <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698704597912\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I add vegetables to the Chicken Alfredo Bake?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, adding vegetables is a great way to enhance the nutritional value and add extra flavor to this dish.  You can add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, or even bell peppers.  Simply blanch or saut\u00e9 the vegetables before adding them to the dish during the assembly stage.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698704688502\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I add herbs or spices to this dish?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Of course!  I personally like it just the way it is (with the extra garlic, of course) but you can also try incorporating herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano for a fresh touch.  You can also try adding additional spices such as onion powder or a bit of paprika to add depth to the dish.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-2790\"
