CURRIED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Curried Chicken and Broccoli Casserole image

This is a very rich version of a chicken casserole. It's great way to use leftovers and not have dinner TASTE like you're having leftovers! It's also a great party dish AND it's very flexible. You can substitute asparagus for the broccoli, turkey for the chicken, add a layer of sauted mushrooms or substitute the cream of chicken for cream of mushroom. My family is not "BIG" on casseroles, but they love this version of the traditional favorite.

CURRIED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Curried Chicken and Broccoli Casserole image

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.
