CREAMY CHICKEN, PASTA AND BROCCOLI BAKE



Creamy Chicken, Pasta and Broccoli Bake image

A tasty one dish meal from Kraft. They kept it quite light, and it's still creamy and comforting. You can use any shaped pasta and try to go for the high fibre ones. Smart Pasta has the most fibre, but you can use whole wheat or whatever your favourite is. I listed whole wheat so the nutritional count would be better and Zaar doesn't accept Smart Pasta. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound uncooked spaghetti
1 pound broccoli florets
1 tablespoon margarine
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
½ cup chopped onions
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
⅔ cup milk
⅔ cup water
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place spaghetti in the pot, and cook 4 minutes. Mix in the broccoli florets. Continue cooking 4 to 6 minutes, until spaghetti is al dente. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Melt the margarine in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken and onion 5 minutes, until chicken juices run clear and onions are tender.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the soup, milk, water, and cream cheese until smooth. Stir into the skillet with the chicken and onion, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Toss in the bowl with the spaghetti and broccoli to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavour. Fresh broccoli, chicken, and garlic will make a big difference in the taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is bright green and tender, but still has a bit of crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavour.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. A good quality olive oil will add a rich, fruity flavour to your dish. Avoid using vegetable oil, as it will not have the same flavour.
  • Season your dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately. Pasta broccoli and chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Pasta broccoli and chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is perfect for busy families. It is also a healthy and delicious meal that is packed with nutrients. The broccoli provides vitamins A and C, while the chicken provides protein and iron. The pasta provides carbohydrates, which are an important source of energy. This dish is also a good source of fibre, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
