Chicken Casserole Recipe

Chicken casserole is such a versatile meal. You can bring almost any style of cooking into the form of a chicken casserole. For this recipe, we used a small amount of curry and lemon juice for a little unexpected flavor.

Be sure your sauce base is not watery. Cook your broccoli thoroughly before you add them; undercooked vegetables are unappetizing in any casserole. The cheese adds a layer of rich flavor and a bit of saltiness. If desired, you can add a sprinkle of bread crumbs or crushed potato chips for a wonderful crunch on top.
