Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix cooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and dust with grated Parmesan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra browning if desired.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitute chickpea or whole-wheat pasta for added fiber and protein. Use green peas or spinach instead of broccoli. Consider a light Alfredo sauce for a healthier option.
