The Bestest Casserole EVER

This is from my old blog titled 'Think You're too Good for Casserole?' My friends best buddy's birthday is coming up. His favorite food is cinnamon rolls and I usually make him that... well he had this casserol recently and asked that this coming birthday I make him this casserole instead. It will look funny with candles stuck in a casserole, but I'll do it if it's his birthday wish. :)

You might want to think again.

This to me is the epitome of good home cookin'.

It's honestly the YUMMIEST casserole I have ever had, I could eat it every single day. It's my mother in law's recipe and it's something my husband grew up on, and now my kids are happily doing the same.
Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

2 jiffy cornbread mixes, baked in a 9x13 according to directions on box

1 onion

1 T black pepper

1 whole chicken

1 bunch of broccoli, cooked

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 c milk

about 2 cups casserole cheese (your favorite, I use cheddar)

Cook chicken in large pot with plenty of water until done (about 30 minutes). When done reserve 1 1/2 cups of the chicken stock from pot.In the meantime cook corn bread according to directions on box. When done scoop out the cornbread and crumble in a large bowl. Add one chopped onion and black pepper. Add chicken stock and store with a fork, this should be crumbly. Put back in the 9x13 pan. Shred chicken and layer on cornbread mixture. In small bowl mix cream of chicken soup and milk. Evenly pour over pan. Add broccoli. (when in a pinch I have used frozen broccoli spears). Top with cheese and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
