Creamy Chicken And Broccoli Pasta Food

CREAMY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta. Careful not to overcook the pasta, as it will continue to cook in the oven. Once the pasta is about 2 minutes from al dente, add the broccoli and cook another 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to baking dish. I used a 8x10 inch dish.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons butter, onion, and chicken. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and garlic to the skillet with the chicken and onion; cook for one minute. Mix in the flour and cook another minute. While mixing, slowly pour in the chicken broth then milk. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, until thickened to gravy consistency.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, parmesan, cheddar and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Pour over the pasta and broccoli in the baking dish and mix together. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

CREAMY ONE-PAN CHICKEN & BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Drizzle a little oil into a large, high-sided frying pan set over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and garlic, and fry for 5 mins, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Pour in 900ml boiling water, then add the stock cube and pasta along with some seasoning. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 mins.
• Stir in the peas and broccoli for the last 4 mins of cooking time, and replace the lid. You might need to increase the heat slightly to get the temperature back up to a simmer. Add a splash more water if the pasta is looking dry. After 4 mins, remove the lid and reduce the heat to low, then stir in the crème fraîche. Taste for seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the lemon juice, parmesan and mint leaves. Finish with some extra parmesan, if you like.

• Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in the boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add the broccoli to the bowl with the dressing.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
