Made this recipe for today and the family loved it. I used canned asparagus, fresh would have been better, but I didn't have any on hand. I made it exactly as directed, except I put the chicken on bottom and arranged the asparagus on top, then covered with the sauce and cheese. Thanks for the great recipe. -
I have been making this for years. Tried a few variations on the soups. I always use one can of cream of chicken but second I have used broccoli cheese, cream of asparagus and cream of mushroom and have all turned out. I also add a bit of paprika when cooking chicken 1/4 tsp. If using frozen broccoli put it in casserole dish frozen and add 5-10 more mins cooking time and turns out better then cooked frozen broccoli. We serve it with steamed rice.

With a little change, this is my Mom's recipe. We use 2 cans cream of chicken and no cheese, but we do put croutons on the top. I know almost everyone else would like it better with cheese (but we had 2 members of my family who hated cheese). Also, I always preferred it with about the same amount of broccoli as chicken... about 2 cups of each. This was my Dad's favorite dish. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that these types of casseroles are a bit fattening and kind of old style casserole cooking... but what can I say, good comfort food! -
FANTASTIC! My friend was raving about this recipe and I kept telling her I'd get to it. Well, I got to it tonight and it's AMAZING!! Thanks for posting. Will definitely be making this again. :) -

We grew up calling this Elegant Chicken in our house! It’s the most Betty Crocker, Americanized version of a chicken curry dish ever but I absolutely love it and make it regularly! A few family recipe tweaks: We tossed the diced chicken in curry, pepper, salt and a little flour before cooking it in the pan. And we combined the chicken and broccoli (and peas!) with the sauce mixture before putting it in the casserole dish, then topped with copious amounts of cheddar cheese. My mom also added her own spin with browned seasoned breadcrumbs as the final layer on top (after the cheese.) I’m so excited to see this recipe isn’t just in my memory! My mom passed last year, and I haven’t been able to locate the original recipe. Talk about a nostalgic recipe!

I am a RN and I work in the operating room, which doesn't leave much time for cooking. But when I find the time I love to find recipes on Zaar and try them out. I have been happily married to a loving husband for 4 years, and he really enjoys all the interesting meal ideas that I find!!! I have no children yet, but hopefully in the near future. I enjoy cooking all types of meals, and love cooking for others!! I enjoy looking up new and exciting recipes from Zaar.
