Broccoli Chicken Pasta

This is a recipe I used to make when I wasn't vegetarian and it's one of those crockpot things that is super easy. So I'll give you both versions below (the vegetarian and non-vegetarian version).

Broccoli Chicken Pasta















Vegetarian Version
Broccoli
Cream of Broccoli Soup
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Milk
Veggie Chicken Breast (We use Quorn)
Pasta of your choice

Steam the broccoli until almost done. Add in the cans of soup and a little milk until thin enough to put over pasta. Toss the Quorn chicken breast in the oven and cook until done. Boil up the pasta until done.

Mix the pasta with the soup mixture and top with a chicken breast.

Non-Vegetarian Version
Need all the same stuff as above

Take RAW (thawed) chicken breasts and add a bit of pepper to each side. Place raw chicken breasts into a crockpot. In a bowl mix together the soups, broccoli and a bit of milk until thin. Toss it on top of the chicken breasts in the crock pot and put on medium heat all day long. This makes the most tender and moist chicken breasts I've *ever* had.

If you don't have a crockpot and are short on time, you can put the raw chicken breasts topped with the soup mixture into a baking dish and bake at 400F until the chicken is done. It's about what? 45 minutes? I have no idea since I haven't cooked meat in years.

Then when it comes out of the crockpot (or oven) just top the pasta with the chicken breasts and spoon a little extra of the soup "sauce" over the pasta.

ENJOY!

It's definately time to dig out the crockpot and this looks like a tempting inaugural meal!
