Alfredo Chicken Bake
Yield: 6
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 jar (15.5 ounces) Primal Kitchen No Dairy Alfredo sauce
- 2½ cups uncooked pasta (penne, fusilli, or rotini recommended)
- 2 cups cooked diced chicken*
- 2 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed
- 1½ cups frozen chopped spinach or kale, thawed and water squeezed out
- OPTIONAL: 1 cup shredded Italian blend or mozzarella cheese

No-Dairy Alfredo Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a baking or casserole dish (9-by-13) with oil cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, add oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add the broth and Primal Kitchen Alfredo sauce.
- Add the pasta and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 12 minutes until pasta is very al dente, stirring every 5 minutes or so to prevent sticking and bubbling over.
- In a large bowl, add the cooked pasta alfredo mixture. Add the chicken, broccoli, spinach, and optional cheese; mix well.
- Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add butter and cook for 30 seconds. Stir and heat in 10-second increments till melted. Add breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and mix well. Sprinkle over chicken alfredo mixture.
- Bake for 10 minutes until bubbling and golden brown on top.
- Garnish with parsley.
*Note: Rotisserie chicken works well here.
