Default Baked Chicken Alfredo help!

My husband is obsessed with chicken alfredo and recently tried and liked Pizza Hut's new version. So, I'm on a search for a baked chicken alfredo recipe. Any suggestions??

I actually had some of Pizza Hut's alfredo pasta a week or so ago, it was better than I expected. I imagine a similar product wouldn't be too hard to make at home, especially if you use a jar of store bought alfredo sauce.

Boil an appropriate amount ( 12 oz package?) of fettucini ( or the pasta shape of your choice ) in salted water until really al dente, as it will cook more in the oven. You want pasta, not paste when done. Drain, then put into a glass baking or casserole dish.

Dice a couple of chicken breasts or thigh cutlets, cook in some butter over medium heat until lightly browned. Adding some chopped mushrooms and a dose of oregano could be good. Stir chicken into the noodles. Pour the jar of alfredo sauce over until the chicken and noodle mix is just covered. Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and some grated parmesan. Bake in a 350 F oven until bubbly and starting to brown, I'm guessing 20 - 25 minutes.

This is just off the top of my head, I haven't actually made this. But I think I will try it for monday night's dinner, we'll see how it goes.

ps: I'm still a bit of a purist when it comes to alfredo, just butter and parmesan cheese, no cream. But variations with cream can be quite tasty, I will admit.

hmmm...I'm not a big fan of bought alfredo sauce. I used it occasionally but typically add cream and parmesan to it.

Well, I was thinking of the Pizza Hut version. I'm probably mistaken and unknown to me each and every pan of pasta they send out is covered with a carefully handcrafted sauce prepared on site from the finest and freshest ingredients available, right?

In truth, store bought sauces in my dinners, when the need arises, undergo various types of makeovers with additional ingredients, seasonings, wine and such.

You know, maybe I should heat up a can of Chef Boy-ar-Dee ravioli or some such just to remind me of why I avoid mass-market prepared foods...

I use canned sauces sometimes, but I always add fresh ingredients if I do.

I make a somewhat similar dish, using penne, mornay sauce, grilled chicken breast cut into chunks, and broccoli florets baked in a casserole topped with seasoned bread crumbs.

Comes out all bubbly and crispy on top, while the sauce underneath the top layer keeps the chicken and broccoli moist.

One of my favorite comfort food dishes ever!

Yeah fresh ingredients are so much better when we're able to get them. Especially to have fresh cheese in the sauce, it's just delicious when you can taste every ingredient. But i have to say that there are 2-3 excellent Alfredo sauce jar brands, when we're in a hurry
