Pasta Chicken Broccoli Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until fully incorporated, then toast for about 30 seconds, or until slightly darkened in color.
• Add the half-and-half and whisk until the flour mixture has completely dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid has thickened lightly.
• Stir in the kosher salt, onion powder, black pepper, nutmeg, and celery salt. Add the shredded mozzarella and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar, and whisk until completely melted and smooth, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and fold in 1½ cups Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, 1¼ cups Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, and the cooked Kroger® Brand 100% Whole Grain Salad Rotini Pasta.
• Transfer the pasta to an 8"x13" baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, remaining ½ cup Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, and remaining ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.
• Place the dish under the broiler for 3-6 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and is lightly browned and crispy.
• Serve immediately with Kroger® Brand Italian Herb Focaccia.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/ fan170C/ gas 5. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Throw in 350g pasta shells or quills, stir well and return to the boil.
• Cook for 6 minutes, then add 200g broccoli, cut into very small florets and stems thinly sliced, and cook for 5-6 minutes more until the pasta is just cooked. Drain well, then return to the pan.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wide pan, add 350g thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts and fry until lightly browned.
• Tip in 175g quartered chestnut mushrooms and stir fry for 1 minute, then stir in 4 tbsp sundried tomato paste, 80g soft cheese with garlic and herbs and a 284ml carton single cream.
• Gently simmer, stirring, until the cheese has melted to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta, stirring gently until coated, then tip into a shallow ovenproof dish (about 1.7 litre capacity) and level the top.
• Mix a bunch of finely sliced spring onions, 85g grated mature cheddar, 1 finely chopped garlic clove and 50g flaked almonds for the topping and sprinkle over the pasta. Bake for 20 minutes until golden.
