Baked Chicken Carbonara Recipe

Presented by SaleWhale

Prepared alfredo sauce adds rich creamy flavor to this baked pasta dish. You can find the jarred sauce next to the spaghetti sauce in the supermarket.

Ingredients

2 cups	uncooked medium pasta, such as rotini, penne or ziti
1 lb	uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups	shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups	water
1 package	Italian Herb Baked Chicken & Pasta Seasoning Mix
1 1/2 cups	prepared Alfredo sauce
1/2 cup	crumbled cooked bacon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place pasta, chicken and 1 cup of the cheese in 13x9-inch baking dish.
Mix water, Seasoning Mix and Alfredo sauce until well blended. Pour over pasta and chicken. Stir to coat well, making sure most of the pasta is covered with sauce. Cover with foil.
Bake 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove foil and stir. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and bacon. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. (Sauce will continue to thicken upon standing.).
