What's Cookin' Tonight -- Curry Chicken Casserole





We had Curry Chicken Casserole for dinner tonight. It's one of my favorite recipes. It's so easy to make and so tasty. However, you have to like curry, which not everyone does. Scott, Anna (believe it or not) and I love it. I usually serve couscous with it or some type of whole grain rice.

It's my sister Missy's recipe. I believe she posted it on her blog a while back, but I decided to share it again on my blog because it is that good!

INGREDIENTS:







  • Boneless Chicken Breasts (About 2 lbs)


  • 1 Bag of Frozen Broccoli (16 oz)


  • 2 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup


  • 1/4 C Mayonaise (I use light mayo)


  • 2 T Curry Powder


  • 1 T Lemon Juice


  • Panko Bread Crumbs (Optional -- I usually don't add them)



INSTRUCTIONS:








  • Preheat over to 350 degrees


  • Mix soup, mayo, curry powder and lemon juice in a large bowl


  • Add broccoli to above mixture


  • Cube uncooked chicken and add to mixture


  • Pour into 13x9 casserole dish


  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour*


  • Optional -- Remove from oven, sprinkle Panko bread crumbs on the top of the casserole and bake for 10 more minutes



Yields about 6 servings
*Make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly before serving

To make this casserole even more healthy, I used Campbell's "Healthy Request" soup tonight. I noticed a slight difference in taste, but Scott didn't. He loved it and so did Anna.

As an appetizer before this meal, I sometimes serve hummus with cut up vegetables and/or whole grain pita chips. Yum!
