A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

LOVELY! I used sliced chicken tenders (that's what I had)whole grain pasta, & added in a few sliced Crimini mushrooms. We love garlic, so the amt. was ok w/us. E-Z & delicious dinner, so we'll definitely have this again & again. Thanks :-)

I only used 2 cloves garlic and it was still potent. I would use less broccoli and more chicken next time.

VERY garlicky but good. I also made this with wilted spinach and it was good.
