Pesto Chicken Penne Casserole
My family loved this - even my hubby who is NOT a chicken/alfredo fan at all had two big helpings. My son said it tasted like something he would get at a restaurant. The only things I did different - I cooked the chicken breasts all day in my slow cooker so I shredded the chicken rather than cutting into cubes. I think that really helped it hold the sauce & cheeses. I don't care for crushed tomatoes so I used some that were diced and in garlic and olive oil (drained first). I used bow-tie pasta because I had it on hand. I planned to halve the pesto based on other reviews, but I forgot. However, my family thought it was just fine with the full 15 ounces. It made a large 9x13 baking dish full (like lasagna) so there were plenty of leftovers for everyone's lunches. This is a keeper!
