Cheesy Broccoli Pasta with Barber Foods Crispy Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Broccoli and cheese are two ingredients that are just meant to be with one another! So I put these soul mates together in this quick and easy cheesy broccoli pasta dish and paired it with some crispy chicken from Barber Foods that is stuffed with it the same exact thing! The result is creamy, cheesy, and filled with veggies that the kiddos won’t mind eating!
