Chicken Broccoli Casserole

(Ashley)

My mom usually brings the chicken broccoli casserole to all of our family gatherings (and it is really good), so I don't really remember Granny B's casserole. We followed the recipe exactly and though it was tasty, it didn't taste very familiar. I may grab my mom's recipe and try that one out to see if that is the casserole that I remember.

Granny's Recipe:

"2 or 3 pckg. frozen broccoli

4 chicken breasts cooked and boned

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tsp lemon juice

3/4 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 cup cheese grated

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 tablespoon melted butter 

Cook broccoli, drain, and arrange in butter pyrex dish. Then chicken soup mix, mayonnaise, lemon juice, & curry powder pour over chicken. Sprinkle bread crumbs and cheese on top. Bake 30 min. at 350°."

We followed it almost exactly...

except that we used a rotisserie chicken

 instead of chicken breasts.

I think I would cut the broccoli up into smaller pieces next time.

From what we can tell, Granny did hers this way, but Bobbie (Ash's mom) stirs the whole thing up, cheese and all, before she sprinkles the bread crumbs on top and bakes it. Granny's way gets you a really layered dish; Bobbie's way is more casserole-like, if you will. Both good!
