Broccoli Chicken Casserole

You know a casserole is good when your crew wipes out the whole dish. :)  This was a real hit with the family.  The seasonings from the stuffing mix come through and help give it some good comfort food flavor, without the heaviness.  This was a tasty one that didn't take long to make.  In the words of my hubby, "You can definitely make this one again!"
Don't mind if I do.

Lyd's Tip: I don't know about you, but when I throw raw broccoli into a casserole, it always comes out kind of crispy still- just seems like it takes longer to cook.  I like to put it in a microwave safe bowl and nuke it for just a few minutes before I put it into the casserole so that it comes out tender and tasty... instead of totally raw... which is probably better for you, but hey, don't push me, at least I put it in. :)
