Ingredients
  

12 oz (340g) penne pasta

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the pasta.

    Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly and set it aside.

      Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and broccoli florets. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt to taste. Gently toss the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the seasonings coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.

        Combine with Alfredo Sauce: Drizzle the Alfredo sauce over the chicken and broccoli mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure that each piece is generously coated in the creamy sauce.

          Mix in the Pasta: Carefully fold the cooked penne pasta into the chicken mixture, ensuring that the Alfredo sauce helps bind everything together and that the pasta is evenly distributed.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour the pasta mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly for consistent baking.

              Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta mixture, covering it to create a rich and cheesy layer.

                Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and has turned a delicious golden brown.

                  Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a vibrant color and added flavor.
