Equipment

  • baking dish
  • Pot
  • cutting board
  • Sharp Chef's knife

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces short pasta of choice
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 cups diced rotisserie or leftover chicken
  • 1 medium head broccoli cut into small florets
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • chopped fresh parsley Optional, to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the 12 ounces short pasta of choice just until al-dente. It's better to be a bit undercooked as it will continue to cook while baking in the sauce.
  • Meanwhile, carefully take 2/3 cup of the pasta water and place it into a bowl together with the 8 ounces cream cheese. Whisk until smooth. Add the 1 cup chicken stock, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, and whisk until well combined.
  • Transfer the drained pasta to a large baking dish. Add the 2 cups diced rotisserie or leftover chicken, and the 1 medium head broccoli florets and pour over the Alfredo sauce.
  • Stir to combine, then sprinkle with the 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is just tender and the cheese begins to brown over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy.
