Enjoy a wholesome dish where tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and melty cheddar cheese come together in a comforting bake, crowned with crispy, roasted broccoli for a delightful crunch. A balanced meal perfect for a nutritious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until crisp-tender.
Slice the seared chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix with the cooked pasta and shredded cheddar cheese in a baking dish. Gently fold in half of the roasted broccoli.
Place the baking dish in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the flavors meld.
Serve the pasta bake topped with the remaining crispy broccoli for an added crunch.
