Ingredients

Directions

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 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

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.
