Chicken Broccoli Penne Pasta

This is a delicious, easy, and inexpensive dish. It does require a little bit of chopping but that is about it. My Toddler loves this recipe and it is full of nutrition.

My friend Kim suggested another way to make this dish is follow steps but then add a 1 jar of Alfredo sauce, pour into large casserole dish, add pour 8 oz of mozzarella cheese on top and bake until cheese is melted.

Let me know if you try this dish, I would love to hear from you any comments are appreciated. Enjoy!
