  • 6

Ingredients

  • 2 packages frozen broccoli - (10 oz ea) chopped
  • 6 cups shredded chicken cooked
  • 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup - (10 3/4 oz ea)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup freshly-grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove the outer wrappers from the boxes of broccoli. Open 1 end of each box. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes, until thawed. Drain the broccoli and put into a casserole dish. Add the shredded chicken.

In a medium bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper, to taste, and wine. Whisk together to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and chicken. Mix well with a spatula.

Place the mixture into an 11- by 7-inch casserole dish or 2 (9-inch) square disposable aluminum foil pans that have been sprayed with vegetable oil cooking spray. Pat down evenly and smooth with a spatula. Combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Cook's Note: Try topping with Cheddar or Gruyere cheese.
