Chicken and Broccoli Cheese Casserole Recipe

orange divide


This easy to make chicken and broccoli cheese casserole recipe comes from my good friend Linda.

It is absolutely delicious and has saved me many times when I've needed a quick and easy dinner recipe.

Although the recipe calls for frozen broccoli, I usually use fresh.

Either way it is so good, I think even broccoli haters will love this one.

It's a great easy mid week dinner recipe but a wonderful recipe for entertaining too.



Broccoli Cheese Casserole Recipe


2 10 ounce packages frozen chopped broccoli (or lightly steam an equal amount of fresh)
4 or 5 boneless chicken breasts
2 cans condensed cream soup (see tips)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp melted butter

Cut chicken into large chunks and cook (microwave or boil just until cooked through). Arrange frozen broccoli evenly in bottom of 13"x9" casserole dish. (If you are using fresh broccoli, steam or boil lightly, until just underdone). Arrange cooked chicken over broccoli.

Mix together - undiluted soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Top with bread crumbs tossed in melted butter.

Bake uncovered at 350° for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce mixture is bubbling around the edges.


R.S.V.P. Cheese Slicer This is a great cheese slicer. Instead of the single wire utilized by most cheese slicers, this one has a sharp, solid stainless steel blade. The base holds a standard block of cheese while the curved handle offers leverage and a comfortable grip.

Cooking Tips
Tips and Variations:

  • Cooking the chicken breasts while you are getting the other ingredients ready makes preparation of this dish quick and easy.
  • The recipe just calls for cream soup. Cream of chicken certainly works, but so does cream of mushroom, celery or broccoli.
  • You can easily multiply quantities to serve a larger crowd
  • You can assemble the casserole 24 hours in advance and keep covered in the fridge. Just increase baking time to 40 or 50 minutes.
  • To make this a low fat entrée, substitute low fat mayo or low fat plain yogurt for the regular mayonnaise. You can also replace the cream soup with a low fat version.
