    Recipe Introduction


    Multi-grain pasta and lower-fat cheeses make this dish a better-for-you-choice.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 1/2 cups multi-grain rotini pasta, uncooked
    • 1 small bunch broccoli, cut into florets (about 3 cups)
    • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
    • 1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 2 oz (1/4 of 8-oz pkg) Neufchatel cheese, cubed
    • 1 cup 2% shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
    • 2 T grated parmesan cheese


    Instructions


    1. Heat oven to 375. Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, adding broccoli for the last 3 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Stir in broth; simmer 3 minutes or until chicken is done. Add Neufchatel cheese; cook and stir on low heat 1 minute or until melted. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella.
    3. Drain pasta and broccoli. Add to chicken mixture; mix lightly. Spoon into 8-inch square baking dish; cover.
    4. Bake 15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake, uncovered, 3 minutes, or until melted. Let stand 5 minutes.
