Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
36 Ritz crackers
milk, as needed
2 bunches broccoli, steamed until tender
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese
1/2 lb grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

In a medium-size saucepan put the cream cheese and butter, and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth.
Remove from heat.
Crush the Ritz crackers and place them in a bowl.
Add just enough milk to moisten the crackers and blend.
In a greased casserole dish layer 1/2 broccoli, 1/2 chicken, 1/2 grated cheeses, 1/2 crushed crackers and 1/2 cream cheese sauce.
Repeat the layers.
Bake in a 350F oven for 35-45 minutes, or until everything is hot and the cheese has melted.
This can also be made without the chicken.
