Life is busy but family dinners are important! That’s why I’m bringing back Sunday Supper with this Chicken Alfredo Bake from Bertolli. Mom will love this easy dinner recipe because it’s simple to make but the entire family will love it because it’s so good!

I feel like we’re always on the go! Between summer camp (or after school activities during the year), running errands and meeting up for play dates, life gets hectic. That’s why I feel like it’s so important to find balance. We need a time where we can sit and enjoy each other’s company without electronics or other distractions. That’s why I’m bringing back Sunday Supper and Bertolli makes it easy for me with their new Bertolli Sunday Supper Calendar!

Now I don’t have to stress about what to make for Sunday Supper…I can go straight to my calendar. I’ve already peeked ahead and there are celebrity chefs, paninis for National Panini Day and lots more. Bertolli shares something new every week so that I can just focus on having a night of family fun and relaxation!

It also gave me the chance to try this Chicken Alfredo Bake using the new Bertolli® Creamy Alfredo with Cauliflower and Milk Sauce. What I like about this new sauce is that it tastes just as good as other Bertolli sauces but has half the fat and calories. This lighter version takes cauliflower, fresh milk and aged parmesan and combines them to make a lighter version of their traditional Alfredo sauce. Cooked lightly in olive oil, just like it’s done in Tuscany, this sauce has a fresh flavor that you can taste in every bite!

Chicken Alfredo Bake

I’m all about letting Bertolli simplify my life so I tried their recipe for Baked Chicken Alfredo Pennoni & Cheese. It’s so easy to make and the sauce tasted cream and totally delish! Plus, knowing that it had fewer calories than my usual sauce made it taste even better!

Start by cooking the pasta and while you’re waiting for it to finish, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, basil, egg and pepper.

Combine the cooked pasta with Bertolli Creamy Alfredo with Cauliflower and Milk Sauce.

Add ricotta mixture and chicken and mix together. The only thing I changed was that the recipe didn’t actually call for chicken. I added that on my own.

Pour the chicken alfredo into a baking dish. Top with mozzarella, breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 30 minutes, removing foil for the last five minutes. I put mine under the broiler for the last two minutes to give it a finished, golden look.

Baked Chicken Alfredo with Bertolli sauce

Even though this new Bertolli sauce has half the fat and calories of traditional Alfredo sauce, you’d never know by tasting it. It’s really good!

The best part is that this makes so many servings, you’ll have enough of this chicken alfredo bake for Monday supper too. The family gets a delicious dinner and mom gets even more time to relax…it’s a win/win!

This chicken alfredo made dinner so easy that I was able to relax and enjoy a little family time.
