I will add a photo as soon as I can. I actually have one that I just have to pull off of my camera's hard drive :)


I use a homemade Cream of Chicken Soup Mixture to make my soup to eliminate preservatives and sodium. This soup mixture tastes leaps and bounds better than anything that comes in a can. The recipe for the soup mixture creates more than what you need for this recipe. Store it in an airtight container for easy preparation for when your next recipe calls for Cream of Chicken Soup.



Cream of Chicken Soup Not From A Can

Ingredients:

2 Cups Nonfat Dry Milk Powder

3/4 Cup Cornstarch or All Purpose Flour

1/4 cup Low-Sodium Instant Chicken Bouillon Granules

1 TBS Onion Powder

1 TBS Mrs.Dash Tomato Basil Garlic Seasoning (or you can use 1 Tsp Dried Basi & Thyme)

1/2 tsp Pepper


Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients together in a food processor.

2. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

3. When you are ready to make soup. Combine 1/3 Cup Mixture with 1 Cup Water to equal 1 can of soup.



Broccoli Chicken Casserole

Ingredients:

4lbs Boneless Chicken Breasts (or less if you prefer/ I have a large family size and we enjoy the leftovers)

1 Bag of Broccoli (16 oz)

2 Cups of Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup (see above recipe)

1 Cup Mayonaise

3/4 Bag of Cheddar Cheese or use the full bag if you prefer the extra cheese.

1. Boil Chicken for about 30 minutes or until done.

2. Place Chicken on Cutting board to cut into slices or cube.

3. Place Chicken in XL Glass Pyrex Pan

5. Pour uncooked Frozen Broccoli (or you can use fresh also) on top of chicken

6. Evenly distribute rice over broccoli.

7. Evenly distribute cheese over rice.

8. Combine Mayo with the Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup Mixture (I usually do this while it is still hot on the stove that way it mixes up easy).

11. Place in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done.
