How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the broiler to high.
2. Step
Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until fully incorporated, then toast for about 30 seconds, or until slightly darkened in color.
3. Step
Add the half-and-half and whisk until the flour mixture has completely dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3–4 minutes, or until the liquid has thickened lightly.
4. Step
Stir in the kosher salt, onion powder, black pepper, nutmeg, and celery salt. Add the shredded mozzarella and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar, and whisk until completely melted and smooth, 2–3 minutes.
5. Step
Remove the pot from the heat and fold in 1½ cups Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, 1¼ cups Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, and the cooked Kroger® Brand 100% Whole Grain Salad Rotini Pasta.
6. Step
Transfer the pasta to an 8”x13” baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Kroger® Brand Frozen Broccoli Florets, remaining ½ cup Kroger® Brand Grilled Chicken Breast Dices, and remaining ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.
7. Step
Place the dish under the broiler for 3–6 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and is lightly browned and crispy.
8. Step
Serve immediately with Kroger® Brand Italian Herb Focaccia.
