Applebee's Chicken Penne Recipe

When you’re craving a dish that’s big on flavor, Applebee's chicken penne recipe really brings it!
The secret to this delicious dish lies in its three-cheese blend – asiago, parmesan, and white cheddar, which melt beautifully into a creamy sauce.
Marinating the chicken in Italian dressing is a simple yet effective way to infuse it with incredible taste and tenderness.
While the penne cooks, you’ll mix chopped tomatoes, basil, and garlic to add a fresh, vibrant layer to the meal.
