Preparation

In a large pot, boil chicken until thoroughly cooked in just enough water to cover top of chicken.

Place chicken in a bowl to cool.
Reserve 1 3/4 cups of the chicken broth.
Meanwhile, cut up the broccoli into very small flowerets.
Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch dish with the broccoli.
Then lay the sliced mushrooms over the broccoli.
After the chicken has cooled enough to handle, discard skins and debone. Shred chicken with hands into small pieces.
Layer shredded chicken over the mushrooms.
Empty the cans of cream of chicken soup in a medium bowl; add the reserved broth and stir until smooth.
Pour soup mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the soup.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the margarine and add the dressing.
Heat and lightly stir until light brown.
Sprinkle dressing evenly over the cheese.
