Ok, so over a very nice hot buttered rum and a long catch up visit with my friend Blanca, the recipe for her grandmother's chicken broccoli casserole was shared with several of the patrons and servers at Opal Divine's. I am gonna try it out tomorrow even though I will only be able to eat a very small portion of it.
