Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for buttering the baking dish
2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
Two 10 1/2-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar
1 cup dried breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2 to 3 quart baking dish.
  • Steam the broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, covered, until crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes. Alternatively, steam it in a saucepan with water over medium-high heat. Drain and set aside.
  • Fill a large high-sided skillet with about 1 inch water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and cool until just opaque, about 5 minutes. Drain the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Stir together the mushroom soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry powder in a large bowl.
  • Arrange the broccoli on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then top with the chicken and then the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle the top with the Cheddar and breadcrumbs.
  • Dot the top with the butter. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
