Chicken broccoli stilton pasta bake is a delicious easy family meal. It's relatively healthy, low cost and can be on the table in less than an hour. An excellent quick healthy meal!
I’m so into dishes like this delicious family chicken broccoli stilton pasta bake.
Don’t you think that cheese and pasta just go so well together?
I’ve been in love for such a long time with that combination, which I used here in this tuna macaroni bake recipe.
That’s been such a popular recipe here on my blog, I thought it was time to add another such cheesy pasta dish.
This chicken broccoli bake will tantalise the taste buds and make your eyes pop, when you see all that lovely golden delicious melted cheese coming out of the oven! 🙂
As this is such a filling chicken and broccoli bake. I find there’s no need to add much to it, if anything, to accompany.
Maybe some extra vegetables like green beans, or a light mixed leafy salad usually do us.
You could also leave out the chicken from the recipe if you wanted to.
But I wanted something to add plenty of protein to this dish, and to give it that extra "bite" too. The addition of the chicken does that nicely!
How to Make This Chicken Broccoli Stilton Pasta Bake?
- Well, this meal is really simple to make. The basic steps are :-

I am able to do much of my work at the office, so that is a huge help for me. I am very very fortunate in that regard! But this recipe takes me back to being a kid with the Stouffers Chicken pasta bakes. We had them all the time!
Good luck figuring out the new schedule--once you're used to it, it won't be so bad, I'm sure!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Thanks Susie, I appreciate your support. 😀
Previously, in my old role, I was able to do quite a bit of work in that office too. I'm sure I'll be able to do some eventually in my new role, over my lunch hour, catching up on my blog reading and comments at least. Hopefully!
Glad you like the recipe too! You've just got to love pasta bakes don't you? 🙂
Erin@BeetsPerMinute
Yum!!! I love everything in this. Stilton is so amazing over here, I have to limit how much of it I eat or I easily go overboard! Seems like you've got a dedicated routine set up. I don't know how I ever did this stuff when I was working two jobs. It's amazing what you can get done with you stick to a schedule and have to drive to do it. People who don't blog are so funny they're like, "oh it's [blogging] just like Facebook but longer, right?" It's like UM NO. It's creating, editing, cooking, photos, editing, editing, revising, stressing, and still doing so often after you hit "PUBLISH". You can do it though -- I have faith! 🙂

You are soooo right Erin! Regarding just how much effort we put into our chosen hobby, blogging! I mean even Lynne doesn't understand all the effort that goes into it, but I tell you, she would pretty soon miss all the food tasting, if I suddenly stopped! 😉
Thanks for your support. I've come so far in the last year, and still have a lot of improvement I want to make. Especially with the poor light struggles I've had with photography lately. But I do really appreciate my fellow bloggers understanding my recent difficulties. We've all been there at one time or another haven't we? And we all support each other, which is just great.
Stilton cheese, is there ever such a versatile ingredient that just about goes with everything? And yeah, I can understand the temptation to just dive into it, having been there myself on several occasions. Raiding the fridge at midnight for a quick snack and promptly having nightmares. 😆
Linz @ Itz Linz
this looks fantastic and something that the whole family would enjoy!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Thank you Linz 🙂
It definitely is a great dish for the whole family to enjoy, a nice and easy one solution to feed all I think
Just added you to my Bloglovin list.
Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate them. 😀

This would be an AMAZING WAY to get any broccoli hater to chow down on the greenery!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Agreed GiGi and thank you! I never thought of promoting the recipe that way too, but yeah it is ideal for getting, for example kids, who won't eat their greens, to eat them!
Shashi at RunninSrilankan
Look at all that cheesiness! Wow! Neil - this is comforting and - loaded with veggies - nutritious too!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
It's exactly that as you say Shashi, a really comforting happy cheesy dish with hidden veggies! 🙂
Frances
Hi, we made this as a pie with pastry, it was supposed to feed 8, but it was so delicious, we sat and slowly ate the rest of it between 4 of us! Anyway, just wondered if it could be done with a sliced potatoes topping as a pie instead??
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Hi Frances, thanks for taking the time to comment and even more so for making this recipe! 🙂
It's always great to hear such wonderful feedback about a recipe, thank you.
This recipe probably could be done with sliced potatoes as a topping. If I was going to do that I would probably use the method within the chicken sweetcorn and mushroom bake recipe, this one https://neilshealthymeals.com/chicken-sweetcorn-mushroom-bake/ using waxy potatoes too on top of the chicken broccoli stilton bake in the oven, instead of the pastry?
I'd love to hear how it turns out if you get a chance to try it?
