  2      packages      frozen chopped broccoli -- (10-ounce)
  2      tablespoons   butter or margarine
    1/2  cup           chopped celery
    1/2  cup           chopped onion

  2      cups          skim milk

  2      cups          cooked rice
  2      cups          chopped cooked chicken
    1/2  teaspoon      pepper

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  for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

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.
