Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

1 (10 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup milk
1-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
Fresh broccoli
garlic powder
Worcestershire sauce
Parmesan cheese

Cut up fresh broccoli and steam.

Cook one cup of rice as directed on package.

As rice is cooking, cut chicken in into medium size cubes and cook in skillet on medium heat until done. Sprinkle garlic powder over chicken while cooking. Set aside.

Heat soup with milk and cheese in pot over medium heat until cheese is melted and mixture starts bubbling.

Stir in rice and mix well. Add chicken, steamed fresh broccoli. Add Worcestershire sauce (not too much!) and Parmesan cheese as desired. Heat well.

*My Notes:*
-Make sure to only steam broccoli slightly, or it will get mushy!
-This recipe is all up to interpretation. But don't worry, you can't mess it up! What I did with the Worcestershire sauce was to put in a few drops and then mix it and try it.
-I am sure you can substiture the fresh broccoli for frozen, just make sure it is thawed well!
-This was a hit in my house! And made enough for some left overs!
