Ingredients
  

8 oz penne pasta

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (use rotisserie chicken for convenience)

1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Prepare the Chicken and Broccoli: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they are slightly tender. Stir in the shredded chicken and season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

        Mix the Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, Alfredo sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well until smooth.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked penne pasta, the sautéed chicken and broccoli mixture to the bowl with the sauce. Mix all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.

            Assemble the Bake: Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella and the grated Parmesan cheese.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let it sit for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Chicken Alfredo Bake!
