Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti

September 22, 2014 by Evelyn 18 Comments

This easy Chicken Alfredo baked ziti is made from scratch and is one of our favorite recipes here at the Ranch.  It’s loaded with garlic which adds so much flavor.

Easy Chicken Alfredo

 

Baked pasta recipes are just the bomb.     We love them because they make life so much easier because they can be assembled ahead of time.  But of course they are delicious, we are pasta lovers, all things Italian go over well here at the Ranch.

Sometimes we use rotisserie chicken in place of the grilled chicken and it makes this Chicken Alfredo recipe extra easy.  And this is one of those recipes we have on hand to use when we fire up the grill and grill numerous chicken breasts at one time.

We usually assemble this Easy Chicken Alfredo early in the day and 25 minutes before we are ready to serve dinner, pop it into the oven.    Sometimes we double it for a future freezer meal by assembling an additional one in a freezer pan.   Then cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil, freeze and it’s good for 3 months.

 

Garlic Chopper
 
 
  • Also, this recipe takes 12 cloves of chopped garlic which is sometimes a pain but we have two items that make the job so much easier.
  •  Garlic peeler–it’s just a rubber tube that looks like a manicotti.  The clove is placed into the tube and rolled and the peels are separated easily from the meat of the garlic.
  • Garlic Chopper– it’s not your average garlic press.  Twist to chop up to four peeled cloves of garlic at a time.
  • This Alfredo sauce has an amazing flavor, and it’s well worth making it from scratch.   It’s quick and easy, I pinkie promise.
