Step 3: Combine the milk and the eggs, stirring well. Gradually add the milk mixture to the chicken broth mixture; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly.

Step 4: Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Bake at 375 degrees uncovered for 45 minutes or until the mixture is thoroughly heated.
