Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ tablespoon unsalted butter
1 ½ tablespoons all purpose flour
32 oz half & half
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ tablespoons onion powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ¾ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, frozen, thawed, divided
1 ¾ cups Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, divided
1 box Kroger® Brand 100% Whole Grain Salad Rotini Pasta, cooked according to package instructions
Kroger® Brand Italian Herb Focaccia, baked according to package instructions, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until fully incorporated, then toast for about 30 seconds, or until slightly darkened in color.
  • Add the half-and-half and whisk until the flour mixture has completely dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid has thickened lightly.
  • Stir in the kosher salt, onion powder, black pepper, nutmeg, and celery salt. Add the shredded mozzarella and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar, and whisk until completely melted and smooth, 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and fold in 1½ cups Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, 1¼ cups Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, and the cooked Kroger® Brand 100% Whole Grain Salad Rotini Pasta.
  • Transfer the pasta to an 8"x13" baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, remaining ½ cup Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, and remaining ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Place the dish under the broiler for 3-6 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and is lightly browned and crispy.
  • Serve immediately with Kroger® Brand Italian Herb Focaccia.
  • Enjoy!
