This Cheesy Penne with Chicken and Broccoli recipe contains whole wheat blend penne pasta, skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, broccoli florets, dried bread crumbs and more.
Broccoli florets are roasted after being tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and minced garlic. A squeeze of lemon juice before serving seals the deal.

'After a long day of shopping, an hour's drive home and another hour putting everything away, I needed to fix something for supper in a hurry,' relates Natalie van Viegen of Port Alberni, British Columbia. 'I came up with this tasty dish, and my husband and kids ate every bite.'
Chicken and rice dishes are common family meals. This one gives new life to leftover grilled chicken. Slightly browning the broccoli deepens the taste of the dish.
