Chicken Treasure

In a pot of salted water, simmer the chicken till tender. (You can save the water/broth if you just want to use that instead of buying chicken broth.)

Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray (we use a big dish, probably about 19x8x2, but we’ve used a 9×13 dish and it fits). Tear the chicken into bite-size chunks and lay them flat on the bottom of the dish. Next add the broccoli over the chicken.

In a saucepan, melt the margarine, then add flour and salt to it, stirring till it mixes together. Next add milk and broth, cooking and stirring till it’s creamy and thick.

In a bowl, beat the lemon juice and mayonnaise together, mixing it into the sauce and taking the saucepan off the heat. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables. After that, cut the bread into cubes and sprinkle the bread over the dish, putting shredded cheese on top of that. Stick the dish in the oven for about 25 minutes on 350F or until the cheese is golden brown. Then eat!

Note: We cook about 2 cups of rice for us and scoop some in a bowl and put the casserole over that. It’s a good idea to try that. It soaks up some of the sauce.
