Ingredients:
  • 8 oz medium pasta shells
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Warm the oven up to 190C 375F

Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta

For the last two minutes of cooking, add the broccoli

Remove the water and set it aside

Warm cooking spray in a big pan over medium-high heat

It will take about 5 to 7 minutes of cooking after adding the diced chicken until the chicken is no longer pink

Take it out of the pan and set it aside

Over medium heat, melt the butter in the same pan

Add the flour and stir constantly for one minute

Mix in the milk slowly while whisking

This should take about two to three minutes

Salt and pepper should be added now

Turn down the heat and add the cheddar cheese shreds

Mix the sauce and cheese together until the sauce is smooth

To the cheese sauce, add cooked chicken, broccoli, and pasta that has already been cooked

Mix it all together until it's well covered

Put the mixture in a baking dish that has been greased

After the oven is hot, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden

Enjoy while hot!
