This is a little healthier version. I'm not sure who gave me the recipe, but it is quick and easy, and my nephew who is 5 will eat it.
Ingredients:
2 diced cooked chicken breasts
3 tablespoons flour (i use whole wheat)
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 teaspoon mustard (wet)
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese (i like mozzarella the best, my husband cheddar)
2 (12 ounce) bags broccoli, steamed lightly
1 cup crushed corn flakes
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Stir the flour, milk, chicken broth, mustard, and onion flakes in a glass baking dish.
2. Microwave on HIGH for 4-6 minutes, stirring well every 2 minutes until the cream sauce is thick and bubbly.
3. While cooking the cream sauce, steam the broccoli for about 4 minutes.
4. Mix the cheese into the cream sauce.
5. Put the broccoli and diced chicken in a 9 x 13 pan. Pour the cheese sauce over the top.
6. Mix the cornflakes and parmesan together, and pour over the top.
7. Broil until golden brown.
