Broccoli Cream Cheese and Chicken Casserole

6-7 chicken breasts boiled and cubed
3 bunches broccoli buds (I use a frozen package of broccoli florets)
2-8 ounce packages of cream cheese
3 cups milk
2 tsp salt*
1 tsp garlic salt*
1 cup parmesan cheese

*This may make it a tad salty for you, so you may want to add less.*

Mix cream cheese, milk, salt, and garlic salt. Bring to boil and stir until smooth (or semi-smooth). Layer in 9 X 13 pan all broccoli, 1/2 sauce, all chicken, remainder of sauce. Top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes (or longer). Allow to sit until it thickens a bit.
