Ingredients
1 lb cooked chicken chopped (I use the legs/thighs from a whole roasted chicken)
2 cups uncooked penne pasta whole grain
1 head of broccoli chopped up
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 can creme of chicken soup
3/4 cup milk
1 cup cheese, parmesean or mozzarella or chedder
1 tsp spice (optional; but try garlic or red pepper flakes)
salt/pepper to taste
bread crumbs
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Boil pasta according to directions when there are 5 minutes left on the timer add the broccoli to the boiling water and continue cooking until timer beeps.
In medium sauce pan melt butter and add flour; mix. Add can of soup and heat to almost boiling. Pour in milk, stir well and add any spices now. Heat sauce till low boil and then add cheese and stir in well. Salt/pepper to taste. Mix together the cooked pasta, cooked chicken and warm sauce. Pour into casserole dish and sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes.
Don't eat the whole pan.
Cheers,
Kelly

I'm convinced all my blogging buddies hate me right now, they're all posting fab food things, and I'm on a diet - waaaaah! Hope you enjoyed it anyway (and didn't in the least bit choke on its creamy goodness ;o) )
Sounds yummy!! So funny about the pictures!! I agree, better to see a nice setting so we're ready to eat it ;)
Just bought chicken today and didn't know what to do with it - now I'll just use this handy recipe - thanks!
Found you on Creation Corner, Yummy!!
Some of my best recipes have come together by me just throwing stuff together- like my Chicken and Dumpling Stew that I'll be posting later this week. :) Would love it if you stopped by my linky party and linked up!
