CHICKEN CASSEROLE (Penzey's)

This was really tasty--good ol' comfort food.

1/2 c butter or margarine
1-2 cups diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 lb chopped fresh broccoli
1 1/2 lbs cooked chicken or turkey, cubed
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or Mural of Flavor or Tuscan Sunset if using Penzey's)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes.  Add the chicken and seasonings.  Cut the cream cheese into several cubes and add to the pan.  Reduce the heat to low and cook until the cheese is melted, stirring frequently.  Pour the mixture into a buttered 3-quart casserole dish.  Bake, uncovered until the top is golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.
