Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 whole chicken
1 bag(s) frozen brocolli
1 can(s) condensed chicken soup
1 jar(s) mayonnaise ( small jar)
4-6 oz breadcrumbs
4-6 oz cheese, shredded
1 tsp mild curry powder
pinch of salt & pepper

Steps:

1. Cook your chicken, or use 1 chicken breast per person and cut into strips and fry in a pan until just cooked. Boil the broccoli until just a little under cooked and drain.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, gather all your ingredients and utensils. Ensure your chicken is properly thawed, and all vegetables are washed and cut.
Use Ripe Tomatoes: Fresh, ripe tomatoes add a vibrant flavor to the sauce. Avoid using unripe or mealy tomatoes.
Sear the Chicken: Searing the chicken gives it a beautiful golden-brown color and helps lock in the flavors.
Simmer the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference.
Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Chicken Donna is traditionally served with rice or pita bread. However, you can pair it with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
