Ingredients

• 6 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, boiled
• 2 Heads fresh broccoli, divided
• 3 10.75 Ounces (oz) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 Cup mayonnaise
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) curry powder
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh lemon juice
• 8 Ounces (oz) sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, curry powder, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
4. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Layer the bottom with the steamed broccoli and then the boiled chicken pieces.
5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli, ensuring everything is well-coated.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded Cheddar cheese with the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
7. Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
9. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness with a hint of curry spice!
