Chicken and Broccoli Skillet

We made this recipe a few weeks ago at my Aunt's house, and I am not sure where it originally comes from.  But, it was pretty quick (especially if you used the canned chicken), simple and delicious. I made it again at home for my hubby, and we agree that it is a keeper.

Chicken and Broccoli Skillet

8 oz. noodles (any kind you like in a skillet dish)
14 oz. chicken broth
1 lb. chicken breast, cubed OR 2 cans chicken
16 oz. frozen broccoli cutlets
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup mayo
3 Tbl. flour
1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

Place noodles, broth, chicken and broccoli in a large cast iron skillet. In a bowl, mix together milk, mayo, flour, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper until combined.  Pour over skillet and simmer until noodles, chicken and broccoli are done to your taste (about 10-20 minutes covered). Top with cheese and place under the broiler until cheese is melted and browned.

We used canned chicken, which is precooked, so I just let everything simmer until the broccoli and noodles were tender and the sauce had thickened.  It might take longer if you use raw chicken. I might also brown raw chicken in a frying pan first to give it some nice color and add it later to the skillet. 

We also thought it would be delicious to top with some stuffing and cheese.
