Foodie Friday: Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake

Another Friday, another super simple recipe from me! This is one of those cheap but filling ones that fall into the comfort food category without being too unhealthy, although I do have a fair amount of cheese in here but you could easily leave that out. But then what's a pasta bake without cheese...
I know the whole point of a pasta 'bake' is for the pasta to be cooked in the oven, but that's just so time consuming that I find it easier to just boil it as normal beforehand to pretty much halve the total cooking time.



Preparation time: 10 minutes                                                  Cooking time: 40 minutes
Ingredients (serves 2)
2 chicken breast fillets
200g pasta (any shape)
200g broccoli
1x 400g can of cream of chicken soup
1x ball of mozzarella
50g cheddar
Method
1. Wrap chicken in foil and bake for 20mins at 200 degrees centigrade/ gas mark 5.
2. Cut broccoli into smaller florets and cook along with the pasta for 10-12 minutes.
3. Drain pasta and broccoli. Take chicken out of the oven and cut into chunks. Combine pasta, broccoli and chicken in a casserole dish.
4. Pour over soup and mix into the pasta. Fold in cheddar.
5. Arrange mozzarella slices on top and bake at 200 degrees centigrade for 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
