Chicken Bacon Pasta

My kitchen is becoming more and more unusable with this move. Boxes everywhere and I’m trying to pack everything that I don’t use daily. Of course, the seconds I pack something away, I suddenly realize that I need it. How is it that I haven’t touched something in forever and I need it right after I pack it away?! Agh, I would just shut down the kitchen if my family didn’t insist on eating every…single…day. Not just that, three times a day!

I’m comparing moving with a giant spring cleaning and I’m getting an early head start on this. I’ve cleared out my linen closets and bathroom cabinets, and I can’t tell you exactly how many times I’ve uttered the phrase, “when in the world did we get this and why?” Or my second favorite, “how long has this been in here?” Well, the fresh start will be wonderful. (Although, at my next spring cleaning frenzy, I will find myself saying the same thing.)

So, to keep the family off my back for just a couple of days, I made this wonderful Chicken Bacon Alfredo Casserole. This is keeping them full and happy and keeping me free from all the packing I still have to do.

Ingredients

  • 10-12 slices raw bacon diced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 6 oz crimini mushrooms sliced
  • 12 oz uncooked pasta fusilli or rotini
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • Alfredo sauce:
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 1/3 cups Heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepepr

Instructions

  • Cook pasta until mostly done, drain and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • While pasta is cooking, cook chicken in a cooking pan, over medium heat with a little bit of vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Once it's done, take out and set aside until it cools enough to handle.
  • In the same pan as you cooked chicken, add diced bacon and raise heat to medium-high. Cook bacon bits until deep golden and all fat is cooked.
  • Add sliced onion and mushrooms to the pan with bacon. Mix and cook until mushrooms are cooked. Drain off some of the fat and add bacon, mushrooms and onions to the bowl with pasta.
  • Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
  • Cube chicken and add it to the bowl with pasta.
  • In the pot where you cooked pasta, you can cook Alfredo sauce.
  • Melt butter in the pot over medium heat. Add pressed garlic and saute until fragrant (just a few seconds). Whisk in flour and slowly pour in heavy cream WHILE whisking constantly (I suggest using a silicone covered whisk). Heat through over medium heat, keep stirring slowly.
  • Add sour cream, Parmesan cheeses, salt and pepper. Keep cooking on medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often.
  • Pour Alfredo sauce into the pasta bowl and mix everything until all evenly incorporated.
  • Transfer into the casserole dish and spread Mozzarella cheese over the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.

    I just made this bacon, chicken, alfredo tonight for dinner. OMG it is the best alfredo I’ve made yet. It’s the first time that i have made homemade alfredo sauce as well, it was really easy and soo good. My husband absolutely loved and it will become one of our favorite dishes.

    I’m taking this to a potluck. I want to make it earlier in the morning. Then put it in the fridge until later in the evening.
    Can I bake it for 15mins or should I bake it for 30 mins since it has been in the fridge all day?
    Thanks

    I think I need comforting right now!! I know it’s breakfast but I’d forgo my granola for this luscious looking dish. With the weather as cool as it is I would welcome preparing something in the oven. Great recipe!! Is it any warmer where you are — down here it is COLD!
