Recipe - Chicken - Broccoli - Cheese And Rice

12 ounce Chicken breast halves
without skin; chopped
6 ounce Processed American cheese;
Velveeta Lite
2 ounce Cheddar cheese; lowfat,
grated
Three fourths cup Brown rice; cooked
2 One half cup Chicken broth
2/3 cup Celery; chopped
1 Whole bay leaf
One half cup Onion; chopped
1/3 cup Green pepper; chopped
20 ounce Broccoli; chopped
1/3 cup Chicken broth; or water
1 cup Mushrooms; fresh, cut or sliced up
1 tablespoon Pimento; chopped, optional
One half teaspoon Basil
One half teaspoon Curry powder
Salt and pepper; to taste

Boil chicken with celery leaves, onion and bay leaf. Skim fat off broth and
use to cook rice, reserving 1/3 cup for sauteing vegetables. Cook rice in
broth. Add Velveeta Lite, stir to melt. Steam vegetables in broth until
slightly tender. Combine all ingredients except grated cheese. Pour in
casserole and bake at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly. Top with grated
cheese.

NOTES : I like to substitute chopped turkey ham for the chicken breasts
sometimes. It is a delicious twist to this favorite recipe.
