Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) pasta
- 4 chicken breasts
- 300 g (10oz) broccoli
- 4 cups Béchamel sauce
- 3 cups grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, fontina, gruyere)
- ½ cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
For the breadcrumb topping
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
- Set a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until just slightly underdone (it will continue cooking in the oven). With a slotted spoon or wire skimmer, remove the pasta from the water and transfer to a large bowl.
- In the same water, blanche the broccoli for 5 minutes then remove and place in the same bowl as the pasta. Finally, poach the chicken breasts in the same pot for 7-10 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove from the water and allow to rest for a few minutes then cube and add to the pasta and broccoli.
- Pour the bechamel sauce over the pasta, chicken and broccoli then add the sour cream and half of the cheese.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir to combine then transfer half to an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle over the the remaining cheese then top with the rest of the pasta.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan and garlic in a small bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil. Stir together with a fork then sprinkle over the pasta.
- Place in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes then serve.
