broccoli chicken mushroom casserole

..or chicken mushroom broccoli casserole, depending on which ingredient is your favorite or which one you're craving to eat at the moment :P i lifted the recipe here and made my own modifications because i am not inclined to baking at the moment and i don't have celery. so my recipe, in the end, is not really casserole, not really soup, and neither is it anywhere near stir-fry. but it's edible and yummy all the same haha.
