Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked chicken shredded or cubed
  • 4 cups broccoli florets blanched
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz each
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder optional but traditional
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Panko preferred
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Blanch broccoli florets in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, drain, and set aside.
  • Whisk together cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, curry powder, and half the cheddar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread broccoli in the baking dish. Top with chicken. Pour the cream sauce over everything and spread evenly.

  • Bake uncovered at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken makes this a true weeknight shortcut. The curry powder is traditional and adds a subtle warmth without tasting like curry.
