Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray PAM in a 9x13 baking dish.

Cook chicken in a skillet browning slightly. When slightly cooled cut into small bite sized pieces or shred into bite sized pieces (1/2 a rotisserie chicken can be substituted for this).

Cook broccoli until it just starts to become tender then remove from heat and rinse to stop cooking process.

Lightly brown chopped onion and celery in skillet until the onion is translucent.
