Easy Curry Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
This chicken casserole is easy to make - and the curry gives a unique twist to an otherwise typical casserole dish.
Ingredients
- 4-5 chicken breasts
- 1-2 cups cooked broccoli
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 small can evaporated milk
- ½ cup of grated cheese cheddar – mild or medium
- ½ teaspoon curry this could be increased depending upon your taste
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 T. lemon juice
- Optional: 3 slices of bread and butter for croutons
- Optional: rice
Instructions
- Cook chicken and cut into pieces. {Grammie says: I usually cook 4 or 5 chicken breasts (simmer for about 20 minutes). I have cooked a whole chicken and pulled the meat from the bone and used that.}
- Cook and drain broccoli, and cut into pieces. Set aside.
- Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl to create the sauce.
- In a casserole dish, layer the broccoli, chicken, and then sauce.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- After removing from the oven, top with croutons made from the slices of bread sauted in butter.
Notes
We like to serve this over rice (yummm...). It's a definite comfort food, especially if you add the croutons and rice. If you want to keep it healthier, you can leave off the croutons and instead of rice, serve a salad on the side.
