Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 packages frozen chopped broccoli -- (10-ounce)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup -- undiluted (1
-- 3/4-ounce)
1 can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup -- undiluted (1
-- 3/4-ounce)
2 cups skim milk
1 jar process cheese spread -- (8-ounce)
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cook broccoli according to package directions; drain and set aside. Melt
butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add celery and onion, and
cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until tender. Remove mixture from
skillet, and set aside.

Combine soups and milk in skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring often, just
until thoroughly heated. Add cheese spread, stirring until melted; remove
from heat.

Stir in broccoli, celery mixture, rice, chicken, and pepper. Spoon into a
lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish.

Bake at 350ø for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Notes: This popular one-dish meal is made even better by relying on reduced-
fat cream soups-perfect for casseroles. Some supermarkets also carry a
lighter version of process cheese spread; for testing, we used Cheez Whiz
brand.
