Pasta and chicken are always a huge dinner hit at my house.

My kids often times get tired of chicken so when they do, I make a pasta recipe and incorporate chicken into it.

For an added bonus, I try to incorporate bacon as well. What meal isn’t amazing when you add bacon?

I try to make my family dinner a few times a week but I hate spending a lot of time in the kitchen, especially after being at work all day.

This Chicken Carbonara Pasta Bake is the perfect recipe to make for busy moms and dads because it uses very few ingredients and takes very little time to prep before you bake it in the oven.

12oz uncooked penne pasta
5-6 chicken tenders, cooked, chopped
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
6-7 slices bacon, cooked, chopped
1 egg
Pepper
1 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs
Chopped fresh parsley, if desired

As I stated earlier, this is one of the easiest meals to make for your family.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cook the pasta as directed
Cook chicken tenders & cut into bite-size pieces. I use the George Foreman grill to cook my chicken. It comes out amazing. You can purchase it here: George Foreman Grill

Stir until combined
Add pasta mixture to a 13×9 casserole dish, sprayed with nonstick spray
