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.
