Ingredients
  • 1 pound rotini pasta (you could also use penne, shells, or bow tie)
  • 1 pound broccoli cut into florets
  • 3 Tbsps butter
  • 1 pound cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 16 oz jar alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 oz block mild cheddar cheese shredded
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta in salted water according to package directions. When the pasta has 5 minutes left add the broccoli florets. Strain the pasta and broccoli and return to the same pot.

  2. Add 2 Tbsps of the butter and once melted add the cooked chicken, alfredo sauce, milk, and shredded cheese (save some cheese to top the casserole). Add kosher salt and pepper, then stir until evenly mixed.

    Note: The cheese will start to melt but it's okay if it's not completely melted.

  3. Melt the remaining 1 Tbsp butter and mix it with the panko bread crumbs. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese and the panko and butter crumbs. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
