Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish using cooking spray.

Boil the pasta in salted water according to the packet instructions. Add the broccoli florets into the boiling water during the last 3 minutes of the pasta's cooking time.

In a separate pan, cook the chicken pieces until they are golden brown and no longer pink in the middle. Set aside.

Drain the cooked pasta and broccoli, and set them aside as well.

In the same saucepan, melt 2 tbsp of unsalted butter. Add the diced onions, and sauté them until they are translucent.

Add the flour to the saucepan, stirring it into the onions until they are fully coated.

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until it thickens. This should approximately take about 2 minutes.

After the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat. Whisk in the shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Add the cooked chicken, pasta, and broccoli to the cheese sauce, mixing well until everything is evenly coated.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

Spread this bread crumb and parmesan mixture evenly across the top of the pasta.

Bake the dish until the cheese sauce bubbles at the edges and the top is golden brown, which usually takes around 20-25 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
