Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial because you want your Chicken Alfredo Bake to cook evenly and develop that lovely golden crust on top. In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked pasta, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until the pasta and chicken are well-coated in that luscious creamy sauce. This is where the magic begins—I always find myself stealing a few bites from the bowl while I mix!
