Description
A comforting and delicious baked pasta dish featuring chicken, broccoli, and a blend of cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz penne or fusilli pasta
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil a large pot of salted water and cook pasta until al dente (about 8 minutes).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook seasoned chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes each).
- Add broccoli florets during the last two minutes of pasta cooking for slight softness while retaining crunch.

- Transfer to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
