1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth

Heat oven to 375F. Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on packaage, adding broccoli for last 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet on med-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 min, or until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Stir in broth; simmer 3 minutes or until chicken is done. Add cream cheese; cook and stir on low heat 1 min or until melted. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella.

Drain pasta and broccoli. Add to chicken mixture; mix lightly. Spoon into 8-in square baking dish; cover.

Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast Casserole

8 eggs
1 tsp worcestershire
3 cups hashbrowns, thawed
1 cup ham chunks (or cooked ground sausage, asparagus, mushrooms, etc)
1/2 cup shredded swiss
1/2 cup shredded cheddar (I can't always find shredded swiss, so I've used all sorts of cheddar blends, etc)
3/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp onion, diced
Salt & Pepper to taste

Stir all ingredients together. Pour into greased 9x12 in baking dish.

Mix a couple strips of crumbled cooked bacon and some corn flakes with 1 Tbsp bacon greaste. Sprinkle on top. (I don't always add any of this on top and I think it comes out just as good)

Your can stir it up the night before.

Bake at 325 F for 50 minutes, uncovered. Use a cake tester to test for doneness.
