Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake

Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake

In the crockpot: (high 3-4 hours)

3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken

2 cans cream of mushroom soup 

1 tablespoon chicken base

3 teaspoons soy sauce

1 cup of milk (or cream, we were trying to keep it a little lighter)

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon granulated onion

Half a teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 cup French’s fried onions

Later you'll need:

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups diced broccoli

1 pound pasta (cooked)

¼ cup crumbled bacon

After about 3 hours remove the chicken from the crockpot and dice it (to whatever size you like the best!) 

• Add chicken back into the crockpot with the sauce, your diced up broccoli & 2 cups of the shredded cheddar on low while you boil your pasta.

• Preheat your oven to 350°

Lastly, in a 9 x 13 casserole dish, combine everything with the pasta and then top with the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon (optional but really good) 

Bake at 350° coverd for 60 minutes.

Enjoy!
