Chicken Broccoli Hot Dish

20 Ounce Pkg Chopped Broccoli, Frozen -- cooked and drained
3 Medium Boneless Chicken Breast -- cooked and shredded
2 Cubes Butter or Margarine
4 Tablespoons Flour
2 Cups Milk
3 Tablespoons Chicken Soup Base
1 Package Stuffing Cubes
Reserved Chicken Broth

Boil chicken in water to cover. When chicken is tender, remove from broth to cool so you can shred or chop in bite-size pieces. In a 9 X 13 pan, place the broccoli in bottom and then layer the chicken on top. Mix the margarine and add 4 tablespoons flour, stirring until smooth.. Slowly add the milk and stir until thickened. Add the chicken soup base and stir well. Pour this mixture over the chicken and broccoli in the casserole dish.

Heat the broth (2 cups), add another stick of margarine to the hot broth. Put seasoned dressing cubes in a bowl and add the broth, making a dressing (or you can use stove top). Put the dressing over the other ingredients in the casserole. Bake for 30-45 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Note: I sometimes make a second batch of the sauce and serve it with the casserole, allowing your guests to pour on top of their serving. This gets rave reviews.
