  I pinned this sometime ago and use this dish once a month. It is easy to make and easy to teach your kids to make. Especially the ones going to college. We added mushrooms and threaded swiss cheese to the top. My family loves it.

• This was DELICIOUS and easy to do,

  What a yummy, quick dinner. I used frozen broccoli (2 cups as we love the veggies) and cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic (the best Campbell's makes!). I will definitely make it again. I will also substitute shrimp for a twist on this quick dinner.

• Absolutely Delicious

  This is a family favorite. Sometimes we leave out the chicken and broccoli and just make the alfredo sauce. It is absolutely delicious.

• Kids Loved It !!!

  Both of my grandson's loved this recipe! I can never get them to agree on a same meal because if one likes it the other one doesn't. With this meal, I just sat back and watched to my enjoyment that they cleaned their plates. The fussy one said it smelled great and tasted even better...Success!!! Thank you Campbell's
