Hey everyone! I whipped this up for dinner tonight using a few ingredients around the house and was surprised how tasty it was so I thought I'd share!

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, frozen
1 cup frozen fresh broccoli cuts
1.5 T Grey Poupon dijon mustard
1.5 T sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup Kraft shredded parmesan, romano and asiago
2 oz elbow macaroni noodles, dry

In a pot, boil lightly salted water and add your pasta. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes, drain, set aside (keep 1/4 cup pasta water).

At the same time, in a large pan, cook your chicken a couple minutes on each side on medium heat til surface-cooked, then break up with a spoon into smaller pieces. Add your frozen broccoli and dijon and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to coat and until broccoli and chicken cooked through. Add pasta water, cook a little further for a minute or two to let flavors marry. Add pasta and stir well to coat, a few minutes. Add cheese and stir until incorporated.

Serves 2.

Per serving:
Calories: 335
Carbs: 27
Fat: 14
Protein: 25

The dijon is the trick - a serving is 1 tsp, but at only 5 calories (and no fats or carbs) you can feel a little better about using more. Plus, it really packs a LOT of flavor! Enjoy!

    I signed in here to find something to make for supper tonight. I think this will do the trick! :-) I'll probably add a couple more veggies, though. Haha.

    I made this last night - Sauteed the chicken breast with garlic and scallion until brown. I added a can of cream of chicken and a can of chicken broth, dijon, sun dried tomatoes, and brocolli - let the chicken simmer in the juice until done and served over bow tie pasta. It was delicious and even my picky one ate it. Thanks for the recipe!

    I'm making this tonight, with canned tomatoes instead of sun-dried because that's what I have. Can't wait!

    I make a similar dish....I use the sun dried tomatoes in a jar, they're packed in olive oil. I toss some of the oil from the jar with the pasta, chicken and broccoli. Then I add the cheese. Also, it's great with whole wheat pasta! Next time, I'll add the mustard....that sounds great!

    Yes a little annoying that we can’t print it directly. Perhaps the fitness app will take to a suggestion to have this possible asap.
