  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
