If you are making a pasta bake...?!
and you want to put chicken and brocolli in it, do you need to:
a) put the chicken and brocolli in raw and then they will cook
b) half cook both and then they will finish cooking in the oven
c) cook them both thoroughly before you put them in!?

Answers:
cook the chicken all the way but dont overcook the chicken cuz the chicken will still cook a little in the oven!. either steam or fry the brocolli (your choice) until not quite done, 1-2 mins!. the brocolli will still cook in the oven and there is nothing worse than overcooked mushy brocolli!. or if you like your brocolli with a little more crunch you dont have to cook it at all! good luck:DWww@FoodAQ@Com
I would part cook the brocolli for a start, then add your cooked chicken to your sauce and heat it all up!. It is that easy just don't overcook anything, and the sauce can be made beforehand, and chicken, onions, veg etc!. God I am off to raid the cupboard, gammon steaks I think !!!! Goes nice with a pasta sauce and penee pasta!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
fry up the chicken in a pan first and cook throughly, and part cook ther broccoli it will finish in the oven!.

Definitely cook the chicken completely but don't let it get brown and don't worry, it won't dry in the bake, and only parboil the broccoli so it loses some of it's hardness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
B) Sort of!
Partially cook the chicken!.(Lightly)
Leave the brocolli raw!
Over-cooked chicken is tough, dry and gagging!
Do not over-cook!
Over cooked broccoli is, just mush!

I tend to cook the chicken right through and steam the broccoli for 3 minutes or so then put it in the oven for less time!.
