Cream Cheese Chicken

2 tablespoons margarine

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

1/4 cup milk

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked cubed chicken

4 cups hot cooked rice

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt margarine and cream cheese. When thoroughly melted and blended, add soup and milk. Mix well and add salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, or until mixture is hot and bubbly. Add a little milk if mixture becomes too thick. Serve over hot cooked rice.
