Creamy Chicken Pasta Bake

Prep time: 20mins
Total time: 35mins-ish
4 servings

1-1/2 c. rotini pasta
1 small bunch broccoli, cut into forets
1Ilb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in bitesize pieces
1/2 c. chicken broth
2-3oz (a little more than 1/4 of a container) of Neufchatel cheese - get it by the cream cheese!
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Heat oven to 375. Cook pasta in a saucepan as directed on the box, add the broccoli florets for the last 3 mins.

Meanwhile, cook chicken in a nonstick skillet (no oil) for 3-4 mins until not pink, stirring frequently. (I added a little basil to the chicken for flavor.) Stir in broth and simmer for 3 mins. Add the Neufchtel in chunks and melt it over low heat for about 1 min. Stir in 1/2c. mozzarella.

Drain the pasta and broccoli, and add it to the chicken mixture, mixing lightly.

I used a 12in skillet with a lid, so I covered it and put it right in the oven for 15mins. (Yay! Save a dish!) You could also use a 2qt casserole dish with a lid if your skillet isn't oven-friendly. Then put the remaining cheese on top and put back in the oven for 3-5mins until melted.

My hubby really liked this... and it really did serve 4- we have 2 servings for leftovers. This was great for a weeknight, quick and easy. I served it with apple-butter and rolls on the side. (Thanks Snyder Family Farms!) Made for a good meal to end a crazy day...
