Instructions

Preheat oven to 180c.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions (less 1 minute), adding in broccoli for the last 2 minutes (see my notes).
Drain and return to the pot, then stir through the butter allowing it to melt then set aside.
While the pasta cooks, in a jug or small bowl whisk together cream, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard and salt.
Add chicken, parmesan, thyme and cream mixture to pasta and broccoli, stirring well to coat.
Transfer the pasta mixture into a large baking dish (20 x 30cm/8 x 12"), sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until brown on top and heated through.

Notes

*Please note that the nutrition facts and amount of calories per serve are provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
The best substitute for spiral pasta would be another shaped pasta such as penne, ziti, rigatoni or orecchiette, rather than something long and thin like spaghetti.
The water won't come back to the boil after you add the broccoli to the pot with the pasta, that's ok.
