Combine the pasta and broccoli, diced chicken, sauce, and 1 cup of cheese shredded.

Recipe Notes
Any pasta is perfect for this, but I used veggie penne to get an extra punch of veggie. I think Penne, fusilli, or rigatoni would work best.
If you want to make this ahead of time, make sure your pasta is very al dente and cool everything before combining. You will probably need a few extra minutes in the oven as well.
