  1. This is a great recipe! I used fresh broccoli and half a cup of chopped mushrooms. I also substituted the cream of Mushroom soup for half chicken and half mushroom soup (low-cal) I didn't need butter and left off the cheese, and it tasted amazing. BF has requested it again!
     
  2. I used frozen pees instead of broccoli. It was good but not very flavorful. Also, the flour and water just turned lumpy in the sauce so I had to fish out the clumps.
     
  3. My family really enjoyed this. Substituted fresh broccoli for frozen. DH especially loved the melba toast topping. He requested that I make it again.
     
  4. This is a winner in every sense of the word! I made cream of chicken soup with Sysco chicken base, 1 cup of water and then the recipe as written.(I didn't have mushroom soup)I added 1 tsp italian seasoning to the soup along with the curry powder. I used whole button fresh mushrooms and leftover baked chili red chicken strips cut & frozen broccoli florets. I didn't have to use the breading or butter because the strips had enough on them. I always look for recipes with "zip" in them for my hubby. This recipe certainly has that "zip" and I will make again.
