Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta Bake

This Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta Bake is a comforting, crowd-pleasing dish packed with bold, herbaceous flavor. Tender pasta and juicy chicken are coated in a rich, creamy pesto sauce that balances fresh basil, garlic, and Parmesan in every bite.

Baking the pasta brings everything together, allowing the sauce to thicken while a golden, cheesy topping forms on top. The result is a warm, satisfying casserole that feels both cozy and elevated—perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or feeding a hungry group. Using cooked chicken keeps prep simple, while the pesto adds instant depth without extra effort. This dish is endlessly versatile, pairing well with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables. Whether served fresh from the oven or reheated the next day, it delivers creamy comfort with vibrant Italian-inspired flair
