Threw this Ultra Lazy Pasta Bake together using leftover vegetables thinking it “should be ok”, was blown away how well it actually worked, got the thumbs up from the homeless man, had it myself for dinner then decided to share it here. I had skipped a few days and I was standing in my kitchen, flustered at the mound of dirty dishes and peeved because of a failed video shoot and wanted to make something quickly. It came about because of a man who lives in his van at the local dog park who I regularly take hot meals to. He always insists that I mustn’t go out of my way to bring him meals, and that in itself plus me being me just feels some sort of obligation to ensure I take meals to him regularly. I didn’t create this Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Bake as a hack. ![]() (Here’s a close up – you can see what I am describing in the bottom left corner) Very, very small compromise for a quick meal, in my humble view. But you need to look really close to see it and it doesn’t taste split. If you look very closely, you will see that the sauce is a tiny bit split on the base of the baking dish. The sauce is silken and there’s more of it compared to this Ultra Lazy way. My “go to” way is to start with a roux – like in this Seafood Gratin Pasta Bake, my Baked Mac and Cheese and my mother’s Chicken and Mushroom Macaroni Gratin ( <<- Childhood favourite, right here!). I’m going to be completely honest with you about the difference between this and the traditional way of making creamy pasta bakes. There is actually sauce (hands up if you’ve suffered through dry pasta bakes!), and it’s a complete meal that’s light on the pasta, and heavy on broccoli + lean chicken. Not a hint of flouriness (thanks to the gluten in the pasta which also helps thicken the sauce) and the pasta is perfectly cooked – I blame my Japanese mother for raising me as a total snob about overcooked rice and this snobbery extends to pasta. When you crack through that golden topping, you will be greeted with perfectly cooked pasta smothered in a creamy sauce that you’ve just made without a single drop of cream, without having to make a roux on the stove the traditional way béchamel and cheese sauces are made. Pull it out partway through cooking, stir through cheese, then finish baking.Īnd what comes out is quite extraordinary. Just plonk flour, uncooked pasta, raw chicken, vegetables, milk and chicken broth into the baking dish, give it a quick stir, then pop it into the oven. The method I use for this Ultra Lazy Healthy Chicken Pasta Bake certainly is unorthodox. This is comfort food for busy people, dedicated to all those back home in Australia and everyone else around the world suffering through a blustery cold winter! The World’s EASIEST Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Bake! But don’t judge until you try it – it works!!! Made from scratch, not a drop of cream, this is a complete meal that takes 5 minutes to prep, made in ONE baking dish and it’s absolutely delish. Put the tin back in the oven for another 20 minutes or until the peppers are just softened and the chicken is golden and crisp.Experienced cooks will raise their eyebrows when they see how this HEALTHY Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Bake is made. Turn the oven up to 220☌/425☏/Gas Mark 7. Tuck the pepper strips loosely around the chicken and vegetables. Holding one corner carefully with an oven cloth, lift the tin a little so all the juices run to the opposite end, then spoon and drizzle the juices back over the chicken. Season with a little salt and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and chorizo and sprinkle with the paprika and oregano. Take the roasting tin out of the oven, scatter the chorizo over the veg and turn everything a couple of times. Mix the paprika and oregano together and set aside. Put the chicken thighs on a board and carefully slash each one 2 or 3 times with a knife. While the vegetables are roasting, skin the chorizo and cut the meat into thin slices – 5mm is about right. Toss everything together lightly and roast for 20 minutes. Put the onions, potatoes, garlic and tomatoes in a large roasting tin and season with sea salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Preheat the oven to 200☌/400☏/Gas Mark 6. ![]()
