Preparation

Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
Cook broccoli according to package directions.(I use a little more)This recipe can be made with asparagus instead of broccoli.
Mix margarine and flour together in saucepan.
Cook briefly over medium heat.
Blend in chicken broth,stirring constantly until thickened and smooth.
Stir in mushrooms and their liquid.
Season to taste.(I use garlic powder and season salt.Also I make twice as much sauce).
Place cooked broccoli pieces in a shallow pan.
Cover with sliced chicken and pour mushroom sauce over all.
Top with parsley and bread crumbs.( I use more bread crumbs than recipe calls for.).
Bake, uncovered,15 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and brown on top.
