Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breast

  • 2 cups tender chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Fresh Broccoli

  • 3 cups fresh broccoli, steamed

Curry Powder

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder

Cream of Chicken Soup

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

Cheddar Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and cook them in a skillet until they are golden brown and fully cooked. This will ensure that your chicken is tender and flavorful in the finished dish.
  2. Cook the Broccoli: While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli until just tender. You want it to retain some crunch, as it will continue to cook in the oven. This step helps to preserve the broccoli’s vibrant color and nutrients.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, curry powder, and a splash of milk to create a smooth sauce. This mixture will bind all the ingredients together and provide that creamy texture we love.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and sauce. Stir until everything is well coated and evenly mixed. This ensures that every bite is packed with flavor.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle a generous layer of cheddar cheese on top, followed by breadcrumbs for that delightful crunch. This topping will create a golden, crispy finish.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavors and textures.
  • Don’t overcook the broccoli; steam just until tender to keep its bright color and crunch.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving, which helps set the layers.
  • Feel free to add additional spices like garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Prepare the casserole a day in advance and store it in the fridge for easy baking later.
