This recipe was developed and tested at its original yield and has not been tested at other yields. Note that only the ingredient list is scaled, so you may need to make adjustments to ingredient amounts, cooking times and equipment sizes in the recipe steps. Scaling could also impact the nutrition analysis. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 2 cups chopped broccoli florets 8 ounces whole-wheat fusilli 2 tablespoons butter 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 small onion, chopped ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 cups reduced-fat milk 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 1 cup diced ham (4 ounces) ½ cup chopped fresh parsley 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Cook broccoli in the boiling water until just tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer to the bowl with the broccoli. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened and the chicken is no longer pink throughout, 6 to 8 minutes. Add flour and mustard. Stir until coated. Add milk and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened slightly, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the broccoli and pasta. Stir in cheese, ham and parsley. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Combine panko and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the casserole. Bake until the casserole is heated throughout and the breadcrumbs are beginning to brown, about 30 minutes (or 50 minutes, if casserole has been frozen). Tips To make ahead: Assemble casserole through Step 2 and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
