Ingredients

400 g chicken tenderloin (raw) (, breast or thigh, cut into 1.5cm / 3/5" pieces)
salt
pepper
1 tsp dried thyme ((or other herbs and/or spices of choice))
250 g spiral pasta, uncooked ((See Note 1 for other shapes))
30 g flour ((all purpose / plain))
355 ml chicken broth/stock (, warmed)
475 ml unsweetened oat milk (, warmed (or almond/soy milk))
1 large garlic clove (, minced)
30 g dairy-free butter (, recommended but optional)
1 large broccoli ( or 2 medium broccoli or cauliflower, broken into small to medium florets (Note 2 for subs))
1 ½ cups (tightly packed) shredded dairy-free cheddar-style cheese ((e.g. Violife or Daiya, a good-melting brand))

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced).
Sprinkle chicken with salt (be generous), pepper and thyme, toss to coat.
Spread pasta in a 23 x 33cm / 9 x 13" baking dish. Sprinkle flour all across the surface (don't dump in clump else it won't dissolve). Pour over dairy-free milk and broth, add garlic and dairy-free butter. Stir.
Spread chicken over the top, then broccoli.
Cover with foil, bake for 15 minutes (or 20 minutes if milk & broth were cold).
Remove foil, STIR WELL. Add most of the dairy-free cheese, then STIR WELL again. Top with remaining cheese.
Return to oven. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until top is golden and sauce is thickened (See note 4 for troubleshooting — dairy-free cheese can brown faster, so check at the 15 minute mark).
Stand for a few minutes then serve immediately!
