Ingredients

2 carrots (peeled and grated)
2 broccoli crowns (chopped; source gives no weight or cup measure)
8 tbsp butter (divided; 4 tablespoons for the vegetables and 4 tablespoons for the roux)
salt (for the vegetables; season to preference)
garlic powder (for vegetables, chicken, and cheese sauce; season to preference)
black pepper (for vegetables, chicken, and cheese sauce; season to preference)
onion powder (for vegetables and chicken; season to preference)
1.5 lb chicken tenderloins (cut into bite-sized pieces; other chicken cuts can be used)
2.5 tbsp olive oil (approximately 2–3 tablespoons for seasoning the chicken)
paprika (for the chicken; use a good amount)
flaky sea salt (for the chicken; season to preference)
8 oz mozzarella cheese (divided; add all to the sauce)
16 oz cheddar cheese (8 ounces stirred into the sauce and 8 ounces reserved for topping)
4 tbsp all-purpose flour (for the roux)
3 cup half-and-half
pasta (precooked; amount not stated)

Steps

1
Peel and grate the two carrots. Chop the two broccoli crowns.
2
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the pan. Add the carrots and broccoli and let them begin cooking.
3
Season the vegetables with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and a little onion powder. Cook until tender with a little crunch and some browning, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
4
Cut the chicken tenderloins into bite-sized pieces. Coat them with about 2–3 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with garlic powder, a little onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and flaky sea salt.
5
Return the pan to medium-ish heat. Add the chicken in a single layer so it can brown evenly.
6
Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and about 75% cooked through. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
7
Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in the pan. Add 4 tablespoons of flour and stir to make a roux.
8
Stir in 3 cups of half-and-half. Season the sauce with garlic powder and the same seasonings used for the chicken.
9
Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened. Reduce the heat to low.
10
Add all 8 ounces of mozzarella and 8 ounces of cheddar to the sauce and stir them in.
11
Add the precooked pasta and stir it into the cheese sauce.
12
Return the cooked vegetables to the pan and mix them into the pasta and sauce.
13
Spread the cooked chicken across the top. Sprinkle the remaining 8 ounces of cheddar over it.
14
Bake at 375°F until the cheese on top is bubbly; the source states this took 20 minutes.
