Number Of Ingredients 16

16 ounces chicken breast, (cut into 1-inch chunks)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2½ cups uncooked penne pasta
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup water
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh broccoli
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped carrots
1/2 cup frozen peas
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • In a 12-inch pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and stir until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until brown on both sides. Stir in the garlic and cook one additional minute. Add the uncooked pasta, chicken broth, water, broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots and peas. Stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 22 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook until almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 additional minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.
  • Divide the pasta and vegetables between four bowls, and garnish with parsley (if using). Serve immediately.

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups skim milk
1 pinch white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning

6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a pan cook chopped chicken with garlic and other seasonings you like. (I used a little Jamaican Jerk seasoning.).
  • Prepare the white sauce. Place butter in small saucepan (preheated) over medium heat. Once the butter foams, add flour and stir for 1 minute (try not to let it turn brown). Add milk to the mix and continue stirring until it starts to bubble. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Add and stir in pepper, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese.
  • While white sauce is simmering, boil water for penne. Cook penne about 8-9 minutes and for the last minute add the chopped broccoli.
  • In a large bowl, combine pasta, broccoli, chicken and chopped veggies. Stir white sauce inches Pour all into a large casserole dish. Sprinkle on cheese. Cover with foil or lid. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
