Preheat over to 375 degrees F degrees F. Sift flour, 1/2 of salt, and onion salt into melted butter. Stir in cream. Cook, stirring until thick. Pour rice into a 2-quart shallow baking dish (I use a 9x13 inch dish). Combine broth, remaining salt, and pepper; pour over rice. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese over rice. Top with asparagus (or broccoli); then chicken. Pour over cream sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes, then top with slivered almonds.
