Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Foil Packs ***

This was much better than I thought it would be.  The chicken was absolutely wonderful.  The kids actually said their favorite part was the broccoli!  That's not as huge as it might be in other families, since my kids do like broccoli anyway, but the veggie isn't normally the highlight of the meal in their eyes.  Needless to say, I was pretty excited at their response.  I didn't measure anything, other than the water that went into the Stovetop (I always use the cornbread dressing instead of the stuffing), but I was able to stretch it into five packs, so that hubby would have one for lunch tomorrow too.  There was plenty to go around, and we were all stuffed when we finished.  I really think that shoving it all into four packs would have been a bit much.  Mine cooked exactly 40 minutes and were perfect.  I also used the pre-cooked bacon pieces, since that's all I had.  Over all, it was a yummy meal that was fairly easy to throw together.  Definitely a winner for us!
