Get ready to indulge in the creamiest, most divine chicken Alfredo casserole of your life!
Today, we’re diving into the world of comfort food, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, bland pasta dishes!

This indulgent dish is transformed into a quick weeknight meal with the help of store-bought pesto sauce, Alfredo sauce, and rotisserie chicken. The best part? It tastes like it took hours to make!
First, preheat your oven to 375°F. While that’s heating up, toss together some fresh baby spinach and refrigerated pesto sauce in a medium bowl. Yes, it’s that easy!

Next, stir together Alfredo sauce and chicken broth in another bowl. Spread one-third of the Alfredo mixture into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Top with half of the spinach mixture. You’re getting close!
Now, stir together cooked pasta, chicken, and remaining Alfredo mixture. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the spinach mixture. Repeat layers once with remaining spinach mixture and chicken mixture. You’re almost there!

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven, and bake until hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Top with basil and paprika. Yes, it’s finally ready!

Before adding the pasta to the casserole mixture, make sure to cook it only until just al dente. It will continue to soak up moisture and soften as the casserole bakes. If the casserole seems dry, sprinkle with additional broth and cover with foil to keep it from drying out while it rests.
Swap the rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken, turkey, sausage, bacon, shrimp, or other proteins as desired. The possibilities are endless!

This creamy chicken Alfredo casserole is also ideal for a weekend gathering of family and friends—simply make two dishes, or double the recipe. If you ever have leftover chicken, remember to shred it and freeze it for recipes just like this one.
So, what are you waiting for? Get cooking and indulge in this creamy, cheesy, utterly divine chicken Alfredo casserole!
