Rich, creamy and delicious, you will never guess this came out of your freezer!

Provided by Make-Ahead Meal Mom

Categories     Freezer Meal Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 ounces penne rigata pasta
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt (optional, see Notes)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta per package directions, to the al dente stage. (Pasta will cook further in the oven, so do not overcook.)
  • While pasta is cooking, melt butter in large saucepan or dutch oven on stove top over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and whisk. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, cream, garlic salt (if using, see Notes below), salt, pepper and 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and melt cheese.
  • Allow sauce to simmer for 8-10 minutes until thickened, stirring frequently to avoid burning or scorching. Once thickened, remove from heat.
  • Add in mozzarella and cream cheese and stir to combine and allow cheese to melt. Add additional salt to taste (if needed).
  • Drain pasta then place back in pot. Pour in sauce and diced chicken to pasta and stir to combine.
  • Pour pasta and sauce mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Allow to cool. Cover and label, then place in freezer. (You may want to use a disposable aluminum pan for the freezer.)
  • When ready to use, remove from freezer the night before and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, until top begins to brown slightly and sauce is bubbly. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley (if desired) and serve.

  • Whatever your cut of poultry, sprinkle with seasoning. If you sprinkle the top and bottom of the meat, the flavor will be even better, but it's not necessary.
  • BAKE: Place in a baking dish with a splash of water. Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes for boneless cuts and up to 50-60 minutes for bone-in. Check for doneness (see notes!). Bone-in will take significantly longer than boneless cuts.
  • GRILL: If using boneless cuts, flatten them with the flat side of a meat tenderizer before cooking until they are an even thickness. Cook over direct heat 3-4 minutes each side (boneless), flipping once. If using indirect heat, cook, covered, for 30-50 minutes, flipping occasionally. Check for doneness (see notes).
  • SLOW COOKER: Place in crockpot with 1 cup of water. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Check to ensure the meat is cooked through.
