I'm going to try something new for tomorrow night. I want to make a casserole with chicken and pasta noodles with bacon in Alfredo sauce baked in the oven. And I have a couple of questions. A lot of them, actually.
Here's how I was going to cook it: Cut up the chicken breasts and put the raw pieces in with the uncooked noodles, pour the Alfredo sauce (two jars) over everything, and sprinkle the bacon on top. I was going to cook it at 350 for...until it looked done.
Can I just cut up the raw chicken and put it in the casserole to cook? Or do I have to cook it first. I'm going to assume I don't need to pre-cook the pasta if it cooks in the Alfredo sauce? The bacon will definitely be pre-cooked. Is 350 a reasonable temp? Should I cover it or not? And how long do you guys think it should cook? Should I add regular cheese on top, or sour cream, or Parmesan cheese before or after I bake it?
I'm putting probably 2 to 3 chicken breasts in (in pieces - depends on what fills the dish), about a pound of bacon (diced and cooked), and not many twisty noodles because that's all I have left.
Normally I'd just wing it, but this is a lot of food for me and with prices the way they are, I want to make sure this is edible. I'm also trying to use up chicken, noodles, and bacon.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
