My family loves easy meals. The reason for this is because we have busy lives; well at least my husband and I. But even though we are always in a constant search for easy recipes, we always want to make sure that they taste really good. A meal is meant to be enjoyed; it’s not meant to be rushed or merely tolerated. So my husband and I always make sure we all love what is being served at the table. It usually means careful planning and thorough search.

I do have an arsenal of recipes that I learned everywhere- from my Mom, my Grandma, from my aunts, from my friends, and even from the recipes I get online and from the magazines. But sometimes, no matter how much you know, you still run out of recipes to cook. So yes, you always have to be on the constant lookout.

This one pot chicken alfredo skillet recipe is one of those that I accidentally came upon. I cook chicken alfredo before, but I am so open to trying new versions. And this version is something that I now love because it’s a hit with my family!

I served this cheesy and creamy dish with crusty bread and blanched asparagus. We had a complete meal that’s simple to make yet very flavorful. I am sure anyone who will get to taste this will love this!

Quick Tip: If you are making your own Alfredo sauce, use 3 cups.

Here’s a recipe that you are not going to want to put down. It is full of yummy flavors and the deliciousness of a plate of chicken alfredo, but it does not have the messy parts of eating it. Simple, tasty and totally delicious, this will blow your mind and make you bake it at least once a week.

My neighbor Anne came rushing over my house yelling, “here comes the best chicken alfredo you have EVER eaten!” She knows I love chicken alfredo, so she always brings me some when she cooks it. This time, I was baffled. She only brought a crock pot instead of her usual dish full of alfredo pasta with a side of chicken. When I looked in the slow cooker, I laughed and told her she must have forgotten what chicken alfredo looks like. She scoffed and said that she knows what she is doing and to pass her a plate. I gave her one and she served me a small square of this and then fed it to me. I was amazed. This was a plate of amazing flavors that I have always loved, but it is easy to eat in alfredo form. The sauce had a great taste and the lasagna as a whole did not disappoint.

It may not be your typical chicken alfredo recipe, but this Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious. It contains just the right amount of spice to wake up the flavor a bit, but the spice is nicely balanced with half and half, so that even people very sensitive to spice will have no trouble enjoying this recipe. I do love Cajun recipes of all types, but ones like these are especially good for midweek nights when you want something really quick and need to keep cleanup to a minimum. I wouldn’t call this traditional alfredo, but it is certainly a yummy one-pot meal!

I must say I hesitated for a while when I came across this recipe. I do enjoy Chicken Alfredo as much as I do cajun seasoning, but had never thought of combining the two. Turns out it was a great idea!

This is every kid’s favorite meal!

If you are looking for an easy, creamy casserole to make for dinner, this Chicken Alfredo Casserole recipe is a good choice.

It brings gourmet flavor to your dinner table without much hassle or time investment. I have a box full of go-to recipes for those busy days when I want to serve something nice but don’t have the time to slave away in the kitchen. This is one of those recipes. Chicken Alfredo has a fancy name, and if you like creamy, cheese-rich dishes, it does sport great Italian-style flavor.

Making it into a casserole is a great way to speed up the process and reduce the hassle. After all, you’ve probably got hungry kids and family members to feed, right? Who wants to listen to them howl about how hungry they are any longer than you have too? Not me!

So, I’m always thankful for recipes like this because it’s easy to make, tastes good, and very filling. Everyone is usually happy with it, too! This includes my picky eater son 🙂

Quick Tip: Always ensure to thoroughly coat your baking dish with Pam Cooking spray to discourage food from sticking.

This Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti recipe gives you all of that wonderful, creamy Italian flavor with little hassle or time investment.  It is also very inexpensive to throw together. It’s a great kid-friendly recipe that would also do wonderfully at any more formal gathering.

Italian cuisine is perhaps most famous for all of its red sauces and delicious tomato-based recipes, but those wonderful white sauce-based dishes shouldn’t be neglected.  In Italian restaurants, I’ve probably ordered chicken or seafood alfredo more than I have the usual spaghetti or lasagna (though I love those dishes, too).

It really is amazing how easy it is to put a gourmet dish like this together–and how inexpensive!  Ingredient cost for this recipe is about $16 for a meal that makes six to eight servings.  (You’ll have to spend more if you don’t have any olive oil on hand, but you will have plenty left for future use.)  It really is hard to beat that for a really good meal.
