Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2 to 3 quart baking dish.
- Steam the broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, covered, until crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes. Alternatively, steam it in a saucepan with water over medium-high heat. Drain and set aside.
- Fill a large high-sided skillet with about 1 inch water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and cool until just opaque, about 5 minutes. Drain the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Stir together the mushroom soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry powder in a large bowl.
- Arrange the broccoli on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then top with the chicken and then the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle the top with the Cheddar and breadcrumbs.
- Dot the top with the butter. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
CURRIED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
Also known as "Kansas Hot Dish" in my family. This is ultimate comfort food, and so easy! Don't take the ingredient amounts too seriously, I "eyeball" most of it. I make this when I'm not feeling well, or for friends when they're going through a rough time. Make a lower fat version with light mayo and reduced fat cream of mushroom soup.

CURRIED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
This chicken and broccoli casserole is my 13-year-old son's favorite dish and the one he requests for every one of his birthdays. It is very good and combines the creamy texture of the cheese sauce with the crunchy texture of the corn flakes. It is a standby meal and easy to make, freeze, and bake at a later date. You can freeze it up to 6 months. If frozen, bake uncovered for 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place broccoli into a microwave-safe dish with a lid, pour in a small amount of water, cover, and cook on high in microwave until broccoli is steaming and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove lid and spread broccoli into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread cooked chicken in a layer over the broccoli.
- Whisk cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and pour sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Spread the Cheddar cheese over the sauce and sprinkle casserole with corn flake crumbs and almonds.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling, the cheese has melted, and the crumb topping is browned, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its nutrients and flavor.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is what gives this casserole its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of curry powder that you use. You can also add a bit of sugar or honey to the casserole to help balance out the spice.
Conclusion:
This curried chicken and broccoli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The casserole is creamy and flavorful, and the chicken and broccoli are tender and juicy. Serve it with a side of rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
