Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Bake
Today I am sharing another FAMILY FAVORITE recipe in our home. I am one lucky mama, because my MIL included this recipe in the recipe book she made for me, when Kevin and I got married. Thanks Innie, the recipe book is used often and loved just as much.
This is a go to recipe if I have fresh broccoli on hand, and I don’t want to make Beef and Broccoli, I make this recipe instead….

Looks Delicious! Recipe calls for parmesan cheese, but your discription is a creamy cheddary white sauce. Does that mean you use cheddar instead of parmesan?
I know my family would love this, because they love broccoli! Can’t wait to make it.
This looks delicious! I’m wondering, could you make it with frozen broccoli and would you just thaw it first or would you cook it first? Have you tried it with frozen?
Yum! Thanks so much for sharing this. I can’t wait to try it!
