Broccoli and Cheddar...doesn't get much better
Because I believe that you can never have too many quick, healthy dinner recipes, I present to you Broccoli Chicken Pasta. This dish is so simple, as you don't even have to cook the chicken or pasta prior to baking. Everything cooks in the flavorful sauce, a combination of soups, spices, and cheese. This is a great way to get kids (or our meat-loving men) to eat their veggies. One trick that I like to use to keep the nutrition stats in check, is to use larger servings of lean protein and smaller amounts of pasta. If you enjoy broccoli cheddar soup, this is likely to become a favorite in your house. For only 230 calories, you just can't beat this recipe!
