Chicken Brocoli Bake/ Chicken Dijon

One of our favorites from a recipe in the Heritage cookbook, I double it for my family and serve with rice or if I am taking a meal to someone or freezing it, I add 2-4 cups cooked rice on the bottom of pan. 

4 Chicken Breast, cooked and cut up in strips*
Fresh broccoli spears,  cooked till tender or use 1 10oz pkg frozen, cooked an drained.
1 cup  milk
1 8oz pkg cream cheese , can use low fat
1/2 teas salt
1/4 teas garlic powder
1/2 c Parmesan cheese

In a sauce pan, mix milk, soft cream cheese, slat and garlic and 1/2 parmesan cheese.  Stir and cook till thick.
In bottom of 9x9 greased with butter pan, 9x 13 if doubled,  Put (rice then ) broccoli then chicken breast and pour sauce over.  Sprinkle with rest of parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.  4 servings



 *I use the breast meat off a Costco chicken cut up or 3- 4 boneless skinless breast, thawed and grilled or bake in the oven at 400 till brown, usually 15 minutes. Recipes calls for 3-4 chicken breast with skins and bones, simmer for 45 minutes in 2 cups water and 1 teas celery salt, discard liquid, cool and skin and bone chicken.
