To make cleanup easier later, spray cooking oil onto your casserole pan. Preheat your oven to 450°. Place the Raymond squares in a single layer at the bottom of a 13 by nine baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, milk, and one reserved flavor packet from the ramen soup package. Pour the mixture over the ramen noodles. Add the chicken to the sauce and noodles, followed by the broccoli. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the entire casserole. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the noodles are cooked, the cream sauce is bubbly, and the cheese is melted.
