How to cook it

  1. Heat the oven to 400F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and cook in a skillet with a little of the butter until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes, then set aside.

  3. Cook the penne in the boiling water according to the package directions, adding the broccoli florets for the last 3 minutes, then drain.

  4. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour, cooking for a minute.

  5. Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes, then stir in half the cheddar and the mustard powder until melted.

  6. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the chicken, pasta, and broccoli.

  7. Spoon into a baking dish, scatter with the remaining cheddar, and bake until golden and bubbling, about 20 minutes.
