Ingredients Add to grocery list

2   (10-ounce) packages frozen broccoli, chopped
6 cup shredded chicken, cooked
2   (10 3/4 -ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove the outer wrappers from the boxes of broccoli. Open one end of each box. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes, until thawed.  Drain the broccoli and put into a 11X7 casserole dish that has been prepared with a non stick cooking spray. Top with shredded chicken.

In a medium bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar cheese, 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.

Pat down evenly and smooth with a spatula.  In a small mixing bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for about 30-45 minutes.

Cook’s Note: Try topping with cheddar or gruyere cheese.

Wow, I love Deen dishes,...but THIS one?? Not so much. I was hoping the negative reviews I saw on this site were just some bland taste bud types who don't know good food. But unfortunately, they were right about this recipe. I stuck to the recipe but used a rotisserie chicken. We each had one serving of this enormous dish and are throwing the rest out. I hate wasting food.

HORRIBLE!!! It's bitter and the smell is so overwhelming it makes it even harder to eat.

Love this recipe- we have made it for years. We always make double batch and put up leftovers portioned out in freezer for quick weeknight suppers. Best served over Texamati Rice! Everytime I have made this for potluck it goes over like crazy.

Thanks for putting all of your deliciousness on line for us to consult. And being a two gallon donor to the Red Cross, I am sad to miss out on the opportunity of receiving an autographed apron from you. Please know that I appreciate the wonderful event you've gotten together to help our much depleted blood supply. I'm sure it will bring in many donors. Keep up the good work!

I love this recipe and so does my family especially my daughter. I used chicken broth instead of wine. I also used 1 can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of cream of chicken.

Great recipe! But I changed it up a bit. Omited the curry, though I love curry. Omited the wine, and used water instead. Used cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs. Used 2 cans of cream of chicken not cream of mushrooms. My teens loved it! I will make this again. Plan to make in individual ramikins for intertaining.
