Recipe #21: Chicken Au Gratin

In Japan, they have the most wonderful Dorias and Gratins. In Japan Gratin is usually make of of noodles with a nice cheesy sauce. Doria is very similar but with rice instead. Well, I was desiring some of that warm, cheesy goodness, so I looked in my cupboards and mixed it all together with a hope and a prayer that it would turn out. So when Will looked at it on the table and said, "it looks good" I was relieved that there was some hope!

You need:
box of noodles (I used rigatoni)
a jar of alfredo sauce
cooked, shredded chicken
mozzarella
pinch of paprika

Cook noodles according to package directions. Also boil chicken and shred when it cools.
Preheat oven to 350.
In a 9x13 pan mix together noodles, alfredo, and chicken.
Add shredded mozzarella on top.
Bake for 15 minutes.

It was not quite as cheesy as the Au Gratin in Japan, but still satisfied that craving!
