Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Bake

February 22, 2016 by Angela LeMoine 21 Comments

Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Bake | LeMoine Family Kitchen. Easy and delicious weeknight meal!! Amazing garlic & herb cheddar sauce mixed with shredded chicken, tender broccoli and noodles. Topped with breadcrumb and baked until golden.

Happy Monday! Well yes it is Monday but here in NJ we finally have a nice sunny morning and it made my run earlier so much more enjoyable. Today I’m sharing with you an easy meal I made last week that my family really enjoyed! Its super easy too so perfect for a weeknight meal! Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Bake is packed with flavor thanks to an easy garlic & herb cheddar sauce tossed with al dente egg noodles, shredded rotisserie chicken and tender broccoli florets. Its topped with some Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and baked until golden. A simple salad on the side and dinner is set! 

There are certain items I tend to always have on hand… like some sort of pasta, in this case egg noodles, a hunk of cheese, a veggie and some sort of chicken. This is one of those dishes that really can be tailored to what you have on hand! This could easily be turned into a turkey, rice and gruyere bake using the same method and subbing a few ingredients. Thats what I love about cooking, it shouldn’t be overly complicated especially when we’re talking weeknight meals!

Like I mentioned before, a lot of the great flavor for this dish comes from the cheddar that I used- a garlic & herb cheddar!! Its amazing how many fantastic flavored cheeses are available, especially when it comes to cheddar! One of my favorites happens to be the garlic & herb and I think for a dish like this, it is just perfect!! The sauce is very basic {something good to know how to do because the possibilities are endless!}… it starts simply with a roux which is just butter and flour. Some slightly warmed milk, lots of cheddar and a little salt and pepper and thats all there is to the sauce. This is a great family friendly meal!

{NOTE: I use 1 LARGE pot to make each element then everything gets stirred back into the same pot before going into the baking dish- less clean up!}

Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Bake
Author: Angela LeMoine
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast {I used store bought rotisserie chicken}
  • 2 broccoli crowns, cut into small florets
  • ½ stick unsalted butter
  • ½ cup flour
  • 10 oz garlic & herb cheddar, small dice
  • 3 cups milk {slightly warmed, I used 1%}
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • salt & pepper
  • ¼- 1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 385 degrees.
  2. Cook the broccoli in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, drain with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Place the egg noodles in the same pot of boiling water and cook about 3 minutes shy of the package cooking time. They will finish cooking in the oven. Drain and set aside.
  4. Using that same pot {all water dumped}, over medium low heat add in the butter and melt. Once the butter is melted which in the flour and cook for a minute.
  5. Stir in the milk and continue stirring until the roux is incorporated and smooth. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Add in the diced cheddar and stir until smooth. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  7. Add the chicken, broccoli and noodles into the cheese sauce. Stir until incorporated evenly. Pour the mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumb and spritz a little olive oil over top to help the breadcrumb brown nicely.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
