Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, combine the uncooked elbow macaroni, broccoli florets, shredded chicken, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to ensure that the pasta is submerged in the broth.

  4. Step 4: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is fully melted and creamy.
