Three Cheese Chicken Penne

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

Going off of applebee's dish, decided to try my own version at home. This is made with a jarred alfredo sauce for quick meals, but of course homemade is always better. Feel free to use your favorite alfredo! For really quick meal use the precooked chicken slices you can find in the freezer section at your grocer freezer.

    cooking time is mostly the grilling time. you can use precooked chicken if you would like to make this a quicker meal. You could use a indoor grill. so the time posted for making this recipe is including the marinating time etc. You shouldn''t use dried basil in the bruschetta it doesn''t come out the same.
