Garlic Butter Chicken Alfredo Bake

A Creamy, Cheesy Casserole Made Easy with Le Sauce & Co.

There are certain meals that feel like a warm hug the moment they hit the table, and a baked pasta casserole is always at the top of that list. It’s cozy, familiar, and deeply satisfying — the kind of dinner that brings everyone into the kitchen asking, “Is it ready yet?” This Garlic Butter Chicken Alfredo Bake delivers all of that comfort, but with a shortcut that makes it realistic for busy weeknights and stress-free hosting alike.

Instead of juggling heavy cream, butter, garlic, and flour to build a sauce from scratch, this recipe leans on Le Sauce & Co. Savory Garlic & Butter Gourmet Sauce to create that rich, velvety Alfredo-style base without the extra steps. One pouch brings layered flavor, real-food ingredients, and just the right balance of garlic and butter to coat every piece of pasta and chicken.

This is the kind of dish that works just as well for a casual family dinner as it does for a potluck, meal prep, or cozy weekend gathering. It’s hearty, crowd-pleasing, and flexible — and best of all, it comes together with minimal effort and maximum payoff.

Why This Alfredo Bake Works

Traditional Alfredo dishes can feel intimidating or overly heavy, but this version keeps things simple and balanced. Shredded chicken adds protein and texture, while pasta acts as the perfect vehicle for soaking up sauce. Parmesan cheese brings savory depth, mozzarella adds that irresistible stretch, and the garlic butter gravy ties it all together into one cohesive, indulgent bite.

Baking the dish allows the flavors to meld while creating a lightly golden, bubbly top that signals comfort food perfection. It’s rich without being overwhelming, creamy without being fussy, and familiar while still feeling elevated.

A Perfect Use for Leftover Chicken

This recipe is also a fantastic way to repurpose leftover chicken. Rotisserie chicken, roasted chicken breasts, or even grilled chicken from earlier in the week all work beautifully here. Once shredded and folded into the pasta and sauce, the chicken stays tender and flavorful, absorbing the garlic butter goodness as it bakes.

Serve It Your Way

This Garlic Butter Chicken Alfredo Bake pairs effortlessly with simple sides. A crisp green salad, roasted broccoli, or garlic bread round out the meal without competing with the richness of the casserole. It’s also a great make-ahead dish — assemble everything, cover, and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake.

At its heart, this recipe is about making comfort food easier without sacrificing flavor. With Le Sauce & Co., you get that slow-simmered, restaurant-style taste in a fraction of the time — leaving you with more space to enjoy the meal and the people around your table.

    Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden.

  6. Rest & serve
    Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
