Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 300 grams pasta I used large shells
  • 3 cups broccoli florets around 2 heads of broccoli. I use the stalks too, just cut the outside off and slice.
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 450 grams chicken thigh sliced into 2 cm pieces
  • 1 cup Chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 250 grams Cream cheese cut into a small dice
  • 1 ½ cup grated Tasty cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan bake
  2. Cook pasta in salted boiling water as per packet directions until al dente, when the pasta has 2 more minutes to cook add the broccoli. Drain the pasta and broccoli and set aside. The broccoli will continue to cook in the oven, so it doesn’t need to be cooked through.
  3. Place your Biroix over a medium heat and add the butter and garlic, cook for 1 minute stirring constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn. Add the chicken and paprika, cook until chicken is golden and cooked through, around 6 minutes. Stir regularly.
  4. Add the chicken stock and stir. Once it is hot add the cream cheese and stir until mostly melted
  5. Add ¾ cup tasty cheese stir until melted. Turn off the heat.
  6. Add the broccoli and pasta and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Place the lid on the Biroix and transfer to the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  8. Take the lid off and add the remaining ¾ cup of cheese. Cook for around 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  9. Serve with a green salad.
