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! …

I’m bringing these, BBQ Chicken Crescents with Onions & Cheddar!!! 5 ingredients, minutes to throw together and so good!!…
Dinner was fantastic last night and so easy to make! How delicious do these Baked Broccoli & Cheddar Chicken Rollintini look?!?! I don’t know about you but I have been doing a ton of running around in preparation for Christmas. Dinner needs to be quick, easy and tasty! I love the classic combination of broccoli and cheddar whether in soup, mac and cheese or stuffed into chicken like these rollintini! …
Why are there never enough hours in the day to get done what needs to get done. We wake up, get dressed, run off to work or in my case get the kids ready for the day… the next 8-10 hours are a blur of breakfast, clean mess, play/clean up more messes, lunch, more messes, baby down for nap, play pirates/clowns/soccer/hockey/hide and seek/ kitchen, prep dinner. feed dinner, clean mess, bed!
Oven at 375 degrees.
Cook the broccoli florets in boiling water until just tender. Remove and place aside in a bowl.
Toss the diced chicken with garlic and herb seasoning, salt and pepper. In a saute pan, over medium high heat, add 4 Tbsp oil. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned on each side. Remove the chicken and add to the bowl with the broccoli.
In the same pan, over medium low heat, add the butter and 1 Tbsp oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add in the flour and stir until combined.
Add in the chicken broth and continue to stir until well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in the cheese until well combined and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the cooked rice to the bowl with the broccoli and chicken. Mix in the cheese sauce. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with the breadcrumb. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese sauce is bubbling and the breadcrumbs golden.
HAPPY EATS!!!!
