Costco Chicken Alfredo (Instructions, Calories, Review)

We have been buying the tray of Costco’s Chicken Alfredo about every other week for a couple of years now.  The alfredo is not our favorite meal from Costco but is is a standard reliable dinner that fills the family up.

The meal freezes well and sometimes we keep an extra in the freezer for when things get a bit crazy with our schedules.

This review will cover everything you need to know about this meal including, how to cook, improvement suggestions, serving suggestions, calories and cost.

If desired, you can remove the aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking to let the cheese brown.

Flavor

The chicken alfredo is creamy, cheesy and filling.  We enjoy the ratio of pasta to shredded chicken and there is plenty of sauce.  The cheesy pasta is comforting and satisfying while the high protein chicken fills up your belly.

While the meal is comforting and filling, it is also a little bland and under seasoned.  Sometimes we doctor up the meal by adding extra alfredo sauce and topping it with seasoned bread crumbs before baking.

We buy the chicken alfredo not because it tastes amazing but because it tastes okay and is easy.
