Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 stalks broccoli (or one frozen pkg of stalks)

• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded, can substitute colby, mild cheddar, jack, or mixes)
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (can use low sodium)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 pinches nutmeg
• 1 dash cinnamon

• 3 in 9 x 13 pan, layer broccoli, chicken and waterchestnuts.
