Notes: If you have a NuWave oven, you might want to consider using it to melt the
cheese over the pasta towards the end. How I did it was by tossing the cooked pasta
with the cooked chicken-broccoli mixture, then I placed it in a 9" round pan and baked
it in the NuWave oven (using the 2" rack) at full power for about 4 or 5
minutes. It melted the cheese perfectly and helped the pasta absorb the flavor
from the cooked chicken and broccoli without drying out too much.
This was really tasty! Paul and I both liked it so I will definitely
make this again.
