Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking dish
2 cups whole milk
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves, cut in half horizontally
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces wide egg noodles
12 ounces Broccolini or broccoli florets
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 3-quart broiler-proof baking dish with oil. Bring milk to a simmer in a pot. Add chicken; simmer until cooked, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Remove pot from heat; whisk in mustard and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Shred chicken. Cook noodles in a pot of boiling salted water 3 minutes. Add Broccolini; cook until noodles and Broccolini are al dente, 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain noodles and Broccolini; toss with chicken, sauce, pasta water, and cheddar. Transfer to baking dish.
  • Toss breadcrumbs with oil; sprinkle over casserole. Cover with parchment-lined foil; bake 20 minutes. Uncover casserole; increase heat to broil. Cook until top is golden brown in places and breadcrumbs are crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.

I would have liked the cheese sauce to be a little thicker.

The chicken was a little dry, but the overall dish was still very good.

I love that this recipe uses fresh broccolini instead of frozen. It gives the dish a much brighter flavor.

This chicken and broccolini mac and cheese was a hit with my family! The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken and broccolini added a nice touch of protein and vegetables. I would definitely make this dish again.
