  • 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese

    for layering

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 box rigatoni pasta

  • 1 pound fresh broccoli florets

Directions

  1. 1

    Begin by boiling noodles according to package instructions. Strain, and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, add the chicken, oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss to coat the chicken all over.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken in for 10 to 12 minutes, until the chicken is full cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring continuously to form a roux. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking until smooth and thickened. Let the sauce simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted into a smooth, creamy sauce. Stir in the garlic powder and salt. Fold in the cooked chicken, cooked pasta, and uncooked broccoli florets, mixing until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.

  6. 6

    In an 11x7 baking dish, spread half of the pasta mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan. Layer with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, then add the remaining pasta mixture on top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
