Applebee's Three Cheese Chicken Penne Recipe
If you love creamy, cheesy pasta dishes, Applebee's Three Cheese Chicken Penne is a great choice for you! You can recreate this iconic dish at home with ease using a few simple ingredients.Start by marinating your chicken in Italian dressing to infuse it with flavor. Once you’ve cooked the penne pasta to al dente, combine it with Alfredo sauce, Italian cheese blend, and a bit of fresh garlic for an authentic taste. Adding fresh Roma tomatoes and basil will give the dish a fresh, vibrant touch that perfectly complements the creamy texture.I love how the combination of cheeses melds with the juicy chicken and perfectly cooked pasta.
