I’ve mentioned a few times that I’m trying to be better at meal planning, preparing and freezer meals. Those recipes are usually me doubling something we are already having for dinner or making something with just a few ingredients. Can I tell you that I wish I would have started this years ago! It truly has made dinnertime around here a whole lot less stressful and fun again.
When I created these savory Chicken Basil Alfredo Cups I knew I wanted to use some already cooked chicken that I had leftover from a Sunday roast we had earlier in the week. It only took a few more ingredients like the new Bertolli® Cream Basil Alfredo sauce to make them and they are seriously delicious. Super cheesy and simple!
Both my husband and I had busy days ahead of us so I made an extra batch and stored them in Premium Food Storage Containers in the new Rubbermaid® Brilliance™ line. Talk about convenience and quality!
The reason I chose Rubbermaid® Brilliance™ is because they are 100% leak proof, stackable and work really well in the microwave. Plus they are crystal clear so there is no second guessing what’s inside!
I happen to love anything that involves alfredo sauce so I was excited to try the Bertolli® Creamy Basil Alfredo in this dish. Bertolli® definitely knows how to create that effortless Tuscan lifestyle right to your own kitchen.
These baked up gorgeously and my family loved them! I even impressed myself with how easy they came together. Using leftover chicken is definitely the way to go!
