Sauteed chicken breasts are baked in creamy Alfredo sauce with basil pesto and crispy bacon in this crowd pleasing, comfort food casserole!

Alfredo Chicken Bacon Bake

When it comes to feeding three hungry boys, smothering anything in Alfredo sauce and topping it with bacon is a sure winner, and this Alfredo Chicken Bacon Bake was no exception!

I mean, what’s not to love about tender chicken covered in a creamy, cheesy Alfredo and pesto sauce?

Topping it all off with bacon is, well….the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Besides being amazingly delicious, this dish is so easy to prepare. It only takes about 10 minutes to get this chicken bake in the oven, thanks to a few shortcuts like jarred Alfredo sauce and prepared pesto.

I highly recommend a side of rice or pasta to go along with all the flavorful sauce. And you can easily adjust the number of chicken breasts up or down by a few, depending on how many people you’ll be feeding.

As you probably guessed, this isn’t a low calorie dish, but it’s oh soooo good. Especially if you’re in the mood for some serious comfort food.

But just to make myself feel a little better, I do like to serve this chicken with a nice green salad. Of course, my boys can eat indulgent foods like this non-stop and they’re all still as slim as can be.

I told them to enjoy it while it lasts!

Do be sure to brown your chicken breasts first. It may seem like an unnecessary extra step, but it adds great color, and more importantly, great flavor.

If you’re looking for a tasty new chicken dish to add to your dinner rotation, my whole family recommends this Alfredo Chicken Bacon Bake. Everyone gave it two thumbs up at our house!
