Easy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake (for two)
It is not very often that you find a casserole recipe out there that doesn’t use canned cream soups in it. I don’t have anything against them, myself, but when I am cooking for just one or two people it is a bit of a waste to open a full can.
I found this recipe on a blog called Skinny Spatula and it did not have any soup included in the recipe. Instead you created a creamy sauce with some very simple ingredients. Chicken stock and cream cheese.
- 4 ounces (1 cup/150g) macaroni pasta
- 1/3 of a broccoli crown (about 1 cup) chopped
- 1 tsp light olive oil
- 2 small or 1 large (150g) chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 3/4 cup (180ml) chicken stock
- 1/3 cup (3 ounces/90g) cream cheese
- 6 TBS grated Mozzarella, divided
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 crackers made into crumbs
- 1 TBS melted butter
