Made this 5 times this last month! So good!

Baked Creamy Chicken Mozzarella Pasta is one of those comforting dishes that perfectly blends creamy, cheesy goodness with the heartiness of chicken and pasta. It’s ideal for those busy weeknights when you want something delicious yet relatively easy to whip up. Plus, this dish has a special place in my heart—it was one of the first meals I successfully made when I was balancing late nights at the office with my newfound passion for cooking. Trust me, once you try it, it’ll become a staple in your meal rotation too.

This pasta dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh, crisp green salad—think arugula or romaine with a simple vinaigrette. Garlic bread on the side is practically a must; the crunchy, buttery bread complements the creamy pasta perfectly. If you’re in the mood for more veggies, a side of roasted broccoli or steamed green beans would also make for a great, balanced meal.

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
