Chicken Fettuccine Bake is an easy-baked pasta filled with Alfredo sauce, chicken, bacon, and sun-dried tomatoes. It’s a cozy dinner that’s ready in just 45 minutes.
This chicken pasta bake will quickly become one of your family favorites. It’s one of my family’s favorite comfort food dinners with a permanent place in our monthly dinner rotation. If you love fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, you have to try it.
This recipe takes the best of fettuccine alfredo and combines it with chicken, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and bacon for the ultimate chicken pasta casserole. It’s hearty, warming, and guaranteed to satisfy everyone at the dinner table. It’s one of the oldest recipes on this site that I have finessed over the years – we never get tired of it.
I love this recipe because it is not dry like other pasta bakes. The sauce is so creamy when it comes out of the oven – I dare you to find even one dry noodle.
This recipe is from my dear friend and (old) workout buddy, Hilarie. I love her family. In fact, her girls, Izabella and Gabbie, were a part of our family for a long time. They have been coming to my home for daycare since they were born. A few years ago, she told me all about this dish and I, of course, had to get the recipe, as we love anything alfredo!
I’ve tweaked and adjusted the recipe over the years, and it’s a dinner I love to make repeatedly. The kids love it, and even the hubby does, despite not being the biggest fan of sun-dried tomatoes.
My favorite part of this chicken fettuccine bake is the addition of the bacon, only two slices but it adds just the right touch.
I can’t wait for you to try it!
