1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan, divided
Early in day, simmer chicken in water to cover until tender, adding 1
small chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 bay leaf, 2 garlic cloves and
3 celery tops to water. Remove chicken; cool. Discard skin and bones;
slice chicken thinly; cover and refrigerate. About 1 hour before
serving, cook and drain broccoli as package directs; arrange in bottom
