2medium boneless skinless chicken breastscut into 1-inch cubes
2cupsTuscan kaleshredded (or spinach, chopped)
1cupshredded cheese(Italian blend or mozzarella work well; or dairy-free)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. In the pan, combine pasta, flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, red pepper flakes, broth, milk, and sun-dried tomatoes. Gently stir until no flour clumps remain. Scatter mushrooms and chicken breast over mixture and season with remaining salt and pepper. Cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
Gently stir mixture and return to oven, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes. Mixture will thicken as it cools.
To eat immediately:
Stir in kale (or spinach) and shredded cheese, and return to oven for 5 more minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
To prepare and freeze:
Cook as directed, then stir in the kale and cheese and allow mixture to cool completely before covering tightly with foil. Freeze up to 2-3 months.
To reheat from frozen:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Add ½ cup broth or water and stir. Cover and bake 10 minutes longer or until warm throughout. Uncover, stir again, and cook for 5 more minutes (you can top with additional cheese at this point).
