When you have cooked chicken on hand, this casserole is easy to put together but tastes like you spent a lot of time making it.

  • 3 T. margarine

  • 3 T. flour

  • 2 cups skim milk

  • 1/2 cup non fat sour cream

  • 3/4 t. pepper

  • 1/2 t. salt

  • 2 cups cooked chopped chicken

  • 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli stems

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 eggs

Melt margarine in skillet over medium-high heat, add flour and stir to form roux. Add milk and stir until roux is blended into milk well; add sour cream, pepper and salt. Heat until thick sauce forms. Stir sauce with chicken and broccoli and pour into greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Combine 1cup flour, 1 cup milk and eggs and pour over top of casserole, taking care to spread mixture evenly. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.

Total cost is $2.23 if using chicken leftover from baking whole chicken. If using chicken breast meat, price will be higher. Cost is calculated based on prices at a "bag your own" type grocery store in Southwest Washington.
