Coming up with meals that my kids will eat and that don’t take me all day to prepare can be a challenge sometimes! And sometimes I am fresh out of ideas.
After just a couple minutes of prep work, I threw it in the oven and dinner was done! They loved it, I loved it, and the challenge of what to feed my family was solved for one more day . . .
Now what to make for tomorrow?! 🙂

Save RecipeIngredients
- 2 1/2 cups uncooked pasta (not quite the entire box- I used shells, but any kind would work! Whole wheat works great too)
- 2 cups broccoli (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1 (16 oz) jar alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare pasta as directed on package. Remove from heat, drain water, and dump pasta in a large bowl.
- If using fresh broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces and place in a microwaveable-safe bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave for 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your desired crunchiness. If using frozen broccoli, prepare according to directions on package. Once finished cooking, place broccoli in the bowl with the pasta.
- Dump the chicken, alfredo sauce, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese into the bowl and mix with the pasta and broccoli. Season with garlic salt, basil, and salt and pepper.
- Spray a 9x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray and dump pasta/chicken mixture inside.
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese together. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling.
