Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 1 pound Ground Chicken (can be substituted with ground turkey)
- 1 cup Alfredo Sauce (store-bought or homemade)

- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated preferred)

Instructions
- Cook the ground chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and sauté for about 7-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink.
- Add Alfredo sauce and cheeses: Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Season the mixture: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, stirring thoroughly to ensure the flavors are balanced throughout the mixture.

Notes
