Chicken Mushroom Alfredo Casserole

There’s something so classic about pasta smothered in an Alfredo sauce and a rotini pasta works so well with it. I feel like all the little nooks were designed to trap the sauce inside, so every bite of pasta is blissful. That’s the reason I always choose rotini when I whip up this hearty and delicious Chicken Mushroom Alfredo Casserole.

When you add chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and Parmesan cheese to this mixture, you’re destined to have a pretty awesome one-pan meal. As an added bonus, this is one of the easiest meals I’ve ever made. It’s a 30-minute meal from start to finish. You’ll only need a handful of ingredients, and you are good to go. In fact, you can actually simplify it even further.

What do you need to make this hearty comfort food?

Here’s a list of what you’ll need to make this amazing Chicken Mushroom Alfredo Casserole with Parmesan Cheese and Bacon (spoiler: only 6 ingredients):

  • Rotini pasta
  • Chicken tenderloins
  • White pre-cut mushrooms
  • Store bought Alfredo Sauce
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Bacon

Now if you want to simplify it further, you could use a rotisserie chicken and omit mushrooms. I like using chicken tenders as they cook pretty fast and they remain soft. The breast has a tendency to get dry and that’s why I prefer chicken tenders.

I like to use pre-cut mushrooms as this adds to the simplicity of this dish. I just rinse them to make sure there is no dirt on them, and fry them up. Again, if you’re really short on time and want to make this casserole work free, you can skip the mushrooms altogether. Just mix together your cooked pasta with Alfredo sauce and rotisserie chicken, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese, and you’re done.

I do recommend following this recipe because it only takes 30 minutes of your time and it’s still really simple and super delicious.

Make this casserole in 30 minutes!

You’ll need to boil your pasta for two minutes less than it’s recommended on the box. The pasta will continue cooking in the oven with the sauce, so you don’t want it to become mushy.

While your pasta is cooking, you’ll need to fry up some chicken tenders for approximately two minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and then fry up your mushrooms for about four minutes, until slightly brown. At this point you can assemble your casserole with pasta, mushrooms, chicken, and Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake it for about 15 minutes in the oven.

When your casserole is baking, you can use the same frying pan as before and cook some cut up bacon pieces for a couple of minutes until crispy. Sprinkle them all over your casserole when it’s done and serve. Just like that, dinner is ready in no time!
