Rolling down the highway
I also made this today for later in the week. I didn't use the cheese soup, I made my own cheese sauce with 5 Tbs butter, 3 Tbs of flour, 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth, 1 1/2 cups of cheese and one cup of milk.

You can make this broccoli cheddar chicken bake, and it will taste just like the Cracker Barrel.

• 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make can of Cheddar cheese soup mix according to package directions (one can of soup mix to one can of milk). Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. Season with seasoned salt. Pour 3/4 of the prepared soup over the chicken breasts. Add broccoli to chicken that has been covered with the cheddar soup. Melt butter and combine with Ritz crackers, sprinkle buttered crackers over the broccoli. Add remaining soup mix, and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the chicken is done. (Check chicken by cutting the thickest part and look to see that the chicken is uniform in color). When chicken has been removed from oven sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
