Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
  2. Prepare the broccoli by cooking it until tender (if using fresh) or thawing and draining (if using frozen), then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the cooked broccoli and chopped chicken into a large, greased casserole dish, spreading them out evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, curry powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the creamy curry mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli in the casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese generously over the top of the sauce.
  7. Toss the soft bread crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl until lightly coated and golden.
  8. Sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
  9. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
