Many years ago, when I was married to my first husband, I fixed this for dinner. He promptly got up from the dinner table and fixed himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Turns out he did NOT like blue cheese. Poor guy, just think of all the wonderful dishes he's missing. The recipe came from a family friend who has always been referred to as Cousin Polly. Mom's made it for years and I have too. It's great served over rice or just plain. It freezes really well too. I'd say that I usually make enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day and freeze some for another meal, but the extra usually disappears during a Connie midnight raid on the refrigerator. Now, let me say that the version here is pretty different from Cousin Polly's original version. Her's started with making a roux out of butter and flour and adding ingredients to make a sauce. Then, she folded in the chicken and broccoli... Well, I've made it a much user-friendlier recipe. And, lowered the fat and some calories along the way. And, to me, the flavor is much fresher than the higher calorie version...
chicken and marjoram (fresh from the garden)
broccoli, blue cheese, cream of chicken soup, parmesan
Sour cream then all mixed up
Bake at 350 until it bubbles - about 30 minutes. Serve over rice or potatoes or plain.

I love the addition of blue cheese. I can't keep the stuff in the house or I'll eat it until it's gone. Yum!
The chicken dish looks and sounds delish!
It sounds fantastic! I'm a big fan of blue cheese!
Sounds wonderful, and I love the use of marjoram...such a wonderful herb, but I do not see it often :)
Oh, my Kate! This looks delicious. It looks like comfort food to me. I would eat this up with some tagliatelle.
Holy moly NomNoms! :-) Looks great!
Wow, I think that looks fantastic. I love blue cheese (though others in the family don't). I agree that it's major comfort food.
