Creamy Chicken Penne Alfredo is a simple casserole that can be put together quickly, and it can feed a lot of people. This really is a perfect dump casserole. You open and dump everything together and top it with cheese. It’s great to quickly assemble one a busy weeknight. It’s one that has been served to kids and they love it. Kids love noodles.
I have taken Creamy Chicken Penne Alfredo to potlucks, and I’ve shared it with friends and family for a special evening dinner. I’ve done both and it is well liked by everyone.
It’s great to make for a large gathering of people. It’s not likely to be the same as the other dishes and it can add a variety to the meal.
The Ingredients
It has penne noodles, canned chicken, California Blend Vegetables, alfredo sauce, garlic, and shredded cheese. For the cheese, you can use either a cheddar or a Colby jack cheese. Both of these cheeses taste very well on this dish.
Assembly
The noodles will need to be boiled to al dente and drained. Once they are drained, put them back in the pan, and add all the other ingredients except for the cheese. Mix everything together really well. Put the ingredients into a greased 9×13 baking pan. Top with the cheese.
Baking
Tent a sheet of foil on top of the paste to prevent the cheese from over browning. Just remove the foil towards the end of the baking time so the cheese can brown a little bit.
Serving
It’s ready to serve immediately.

It pairs great with garlic bread and Strawberry Fluff Salad. Another plus, both of these recipes are quick and simple to prepare as well.
If you have leftovers of Creamy Chicken Penne Alredo, it freezes, and reheats well too.
