Directions:1. In a small bowl, combine bread crumb and butter; set aside. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 400º. Place a large pot on the stove and bring to boil. Stir in one tablespoon salt and the broccoli.
3. Cook the broccoli for 1 minute, it should be bright green. Quickly remove the broccoli onto a plate with a slotted spoon.

7. Slowly whisk in the broth and cream, bring to simmer whisking often. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked thoroughly (about 6-7 minutes).
8. Stir in tomatoes and cheese.
9. Add the cooked broccoli and and pasta to sauce. Transfer the pasta to the 9x13 dish and sprinkle with bread topping.
10. Bake until the casserole is bubbling and the crumbs are lightly browned (about 15 minutes). |
