Swiss Chicken & Broccoli Casserole image

My brother is a bachelor and even though he cooks for just one, he makes awesome full course meals. He got this recipe from a friend and I had to have it! I have taken this to potluck dinners and have been asked for the recipe. Simple comfort food.

The casserole was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I loved this casserole! The creamy sauce and the tender chicken made it a winner.
