Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake
Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake is cheesy heaven with the Ricotta, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses. Each bite is creamy and delicious. My family loves this recipe!
My sisters and I went to Las Vegas yesterday, to pick up my little brother from the airport. Doug has been traveling and working in Nepal and in London for the last 8 months, so it was nice to get to see him after such a long time!
We took him to the Cheesecake Factory, and chowed down on some delicious food, laughed our butts off and got to catch up. It was so much fun! I’m so happy he’s back in town for a little bit, so we can spend some time together. He will be heading back to London in the Fall for school, so I am going to take advantage of this little time I get to see him.
As for this Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake, it was a little piece of heaven. Cheesy heaven to be exact. Ricotta, Parmesan and Mozzarella are all inside this creamy dish. Yum-O! My whole family devoured this quickly. It was so good!

Hope assiago alfredo works. Apparently its the jar i grabbed. Never used jar sauses before for anything. I hope this is to die for! I even made my own ricotta
The assiago was good only needed half of the ricotta my recipie made
How many does this feed
Have you ever tried this as a freezer meal? I am going to attempt it as it looks so yummy! Thanks!
Just put it in the oven. I used cottage cheese for ricotta and doubled it and I used 6 Italian blend instead of mozzerella but mixed it in instead of topping. Oh, and I used WAY more garlic, we are one garlic obssessed, loving family!
So…what Brand is everyone’s favorite jarred Alfredo sauce?? This looks delicious, but the sauce could make or break it…lol. Thanks bunches!
I use Ragu Alfredo sauce and we like it a lot, but I’m sure homemade Alfredo would make this even better!
I also like the Ragu Alfredo sauce.
I made this for Christmas Day Dinner (we had two Christmas Dinners w/ Turkey on XMAS eve & one on boxing day!) and it was absolutely delicious! I served it with a garden salad and Herb&Garlic bread. Half the recipe fed 5 of us. I did add salt & pepper to the mix, baked the chicken rubbed in oil, salt, pepper & Italian seasoning and sprinkled half a pound of cooked & chopped bacon on top of the mozzarella. Thanks for a great recipe!
Super easy to make and was a delicious recipe! I cut it in half for my husband & I plus our 18 month old and we seriously have enough for 2 nights of leftovers, it makes a TON! Next time I’m going to add more garlic, maybe garlic salt and also pepper. Oh & cut back on the italian seasoning, it seemed to overtake the dish. Everyone loved it though! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
I made this tonight, and it was great! I added in extra chicken and some broccoli to make the dish go further. I can’t wait for the leftovers! =)
About how many servings is this?
If you make the 9×13 pan (the exact recipe listed) it will serve 8.
When you throw everything in together do you throw the raw chicken in there too or do you need to cook the chicken before you throw it in.
Cook the chicken before 🙂
Could you easily make this without the chicken?
Yes, definitely!
Can I sub the ricotta cheese or omit it from recipe? Not a big fan for it
Wow! This turned out wonderfully! I substituted some cubed fresh mozzarella for the shredded on top. Broiled it for the last five minutes. It looks like something off a cooking network for sure!
This looks amazing!! It’s baking in my oven right now and cannot wait to eat
Covered or uncovered when placed in the oven?

We’ve been making a basic chicken alfredo casserole for several years. After browsing all of your recipes, and finding we love so many of them, I decided to switch things up and try your chicken alfredo casserole instead of ours. My husband at dinner tonight was absolutely raving about how delicious this is, and that (red meat aside) it is his new favorite meal. Thank you for the recipe, and for so many others that we’ve come to love since discovering your blog recently!! Happy family with happy bellies.
This should probably be common sense, but I am really new to cooking like this so bear with me. Do I need to cook the chicken first and then add it to be baked in the over? Or cut the chicken up raw and then add it to the bake?
Yes, cook the chicken first, then cut into cubes then add to the rest of the dish.
Made this tonight for dinner, it is very good! After getting all fresh ingredients together I just couldn’t use jarred sauce! I made a roue from flour and butter, added Parmesan and whole milk.
Do I need to cook the chicken first before I add it to the other ingredients?
Yes the recipe states cooked chicken 🙂
Hi! I’ll be making this tomorrow for my Mom & Dad coming into town….can I get this ready in the am then cook later?? I have to work…Please tell me what you think!!
Yes, you can prepare this ahead of time. After it’s all prepared I would cover tightly and keep it in fridge until ready to bake! It may need more time baking because it will be cold from the fridge.
ThAnk you hollY!!
THIS WAS DELICIOUS AND i MADE MY OWN ALFREDO SAUCE TOO.
My family all loved it! I added a little extra garlic and they all told me how good it was! definitely will make this again!
It was so easy to make. Followed the recipe to a “T”. It made a double layer plus a 8×8 pan as well. Loved it and wouldn’t make it any other way, thanks sooo much for the recipe.
I just made this and it was delicious.
This was delicious! I used a 9-ounce package of Tyson simply roasted pre-cooked chicken. After I diced it, it was exactly 2 cups. The pre-cooked chicken is delicious.
I would not change a thing in this recipe- we loved it! It made enough for 6 adults with some side dishes.
I love this dish. I add shrimp and broccoli
