Instructions

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to middle position (top and middle positions for 8 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot (two large pots for 8) of salted water to a boil. • Drop cream cheese (in packets) in a small bowl of warm water to soften until ready to use. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Mince or grate garlic. • Generously coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes for 8 servings) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Cook Pasta & Broccoli
2

• Once water is boiling, add pasta to pot (for 8 servings, divide between two large pots or cook in batches). Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes. • Add broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green and pasta is al dente, 3-5 minutes more. • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain pasta and broccoli.

Cook Chicken
3

• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add chicken*, onion, and garlic in a single layer; season with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and onion is tender, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches to prevent overcrowding, adding a drizzle of oil between batches.

Assemble Pasta Bake
4

• In a large bowl, whisk together cream sauce base, cheddar, stock concentrates, and cream cheese (work in batches or use two large bowls for 8 servings). • Add drained pasta and broccoli, chicken, and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water (1 cup for 8) to bowl with sauce and stir to thoroughly coat. • Transfer pasta mixture to prepared baking dish (divide between two baking dishes for 8).

Bake Pasta Bake
5

• Cover baking dish tightly with foil, then place on top of a foil-lined baking sheet (two baking sheets for 8 servings). (The sheet will help protect your oven from any sauce that may bubble over!) • Bake on middle rack (top and middle racks for 8) until bubbly, 30 minutes. • Stir pasta bake to evenly distribute sauce. Let rest at least 5 minutes before serving.

Serve
6

• Divide pasta bake between plates or serve family style directly from dish.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
