Stock Pot
9x13 Inch Baking Dish
Medium Mixing Bowl
- 2 bunches fresh broccoli (can also use frozen)
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and cut into pieces if desired)
- 2 (10.5) ounces canned cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1½ slices bread
- 1 Tablespoon butter melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook broccoli in boiling salted water until tender and drain.
Arrange stalks in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
Place cooked chicken breasts on top of broccoli.
In a medium bowl, combine soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and curry powder; pour over chicken.
Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Break bread into small pieces and mix with melted butter. Sprinkle over shredded cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

You can also use bread crumbs in place of the sliced bread with butter.

Sometimes I add a couple tablespoons of milk to the soup mixture so that it makes a "gravy" and serve that over baked potatoes as a side dish.
