Baked  Chicken Cordon Blue

 

 

Alfredo Sauce

1 1/4c. Shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated, divided

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1/4 tsp. white pepper

 

Pasta

10-12 ounces penned pasta, cooked

1 chicken breast, cooked and diced into 1/4-inch strips

3/4 cup diced, cooked ham

1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

additional optional ad-ins: steamed broccoli, fresh sliced mushrooms, green onions

 

Instructions

Prepare the alfredo sauce: Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat.  Add the white pepper, heavy cream and minced garlic.  Bring the mixture to a simmer.  Reduce heat to medium low.  Add the parmesan and mozzarella, reserving about 1/3 of each cheese.  Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.

 

Set the oven to broil.  Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.  Add the cooked pasta, chicken, bacon, and any additional ingredients.  Pour alfredo sauce over the top, and gently stir to combine everything.  Top with the reserved cheeses.

 

Place the baking dish on the oven's middle rack.  Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and turns light brown.
