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!

I've tried this recipe a few times now and it never disappoints. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. I also like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

5 stars! This dish was easy to make and tasted amazing. I used penne pasta and added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it a little kick. Will definitely be making this again and again.
