200g broccoli florets
1 chicken stock cube

250ml cream
75g mature cheddar cheese grated

directions

  1. Bring 2 pots of salted water to the boil (one for the pasta; one for the broccoli).

  4. Dice the chicken fillets into small pieces and dust with plain flour.
  5. Add the onion and chicken pieces to a frying pan that has been lightly coated with olive oil. Cook until the onion is soft and the chicken is thoroughly cooked through. Once cooked, add sweetcorn to the pan.
  6. Place the pasta, broccoli, chicken, onion and sweetcorn in a casserole dish. Add the cream, grated cheese and 2 pinches of cayenne pepper. Place in the over at Gas Mark 5 / 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, grate some fresh cheese on top and place back in the over until golden brown.
