Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 0.25 cup milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place chicken into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Step 4

At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Drain cooked chicken and cut into bite-size pieces.

Step 6

Place chicken, noodles, Alfredo sauce, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix well.

Step 7

Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Layer remaining mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.
