This is a terrible recipe! As the previous review states, there isn't anything to hold it all together. I made a yummy chicken, RICE and broccoli casserole, by sort of following these directions, but I added quite a few steps. After the milk boiled, I made a light roux in the pan before I added the hot milk back in. Then when I added the chicken, I also threw in 3 cups of cooked white rice, about a tablespoon of salt, and a teaspoon of pepper. Planning to serve to my family tomorrow so I don't know how it will go, but when I tasted the mixture, it seemed pretty yummy. I think F&W needs to pull this one down and rewrite it. Some steps must be missing.
There is a reason this is the last one mentioned. The recipe is a complete disaster. The first clue should have been, although salt and pepper were mentioned, it never states when to add. Understanding it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out, the bigger issue is what appears to be the missing ingredient: a thickening agent of some kind. Cream cheese doesn't do it. Following the recipe as is you basically end up with a chicken and broccoli soup. Very disappointing and a huge waste of time. Makes me re-consider many of the other recipes in this link I also downloaded and if they will produce the same result. Unfortunately I can only give a one star rating; in my mind that is being generous.
