Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pasta shells
  • 3 cups of broccoli florets
  • Olive oil one tablespoon
  • Two thinly sliced, boneless, and skinless chicken breasts
  • To taste, add Kosher Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 2 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • Three cloves garlic, minced
  • One teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • Sun-dried tomatoes – 1/4 cup, julienned
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in a large pot with salted boiling water according to the package directions. Add broccoli to the bank within the last two minutes of cooking. Drain well.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. To taste, season chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping them once. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.
