Warm, Gooey, Yummy Chicken Casserole!

Submitted by thestickyskunk

"People kept asking me for this recipe, and their friends kept asking them for the recipe after they made it for them, so I figured it was a good one to put on here! There are many, many different ways to make this more healthy, let me know how you do it! I usually get the low sodium soups, use smart balance mayo, 2% cheddar cheese, whole wheat bread on top, and smart balance butter. Every little bit helps! I haven't ever measured this, so don't be afraid to add more or less of anything at your discretion! Especially with the curry, some nights I get sassy and decide to put tons of curry in it. Oh! and one last thing- it tastes EXCELLENT the next day, and serving it over rice is tasty and makes it last longer!"

This was so delicious and tasty enough to please even my pickiest eaters. The curry added such a nice quality that made this casserole so much tastier than other similar casserole recipes. This is a new favorite that I know I'll make often. Thank you for sharing your recipe, thestickyskunk. Made for Spring 2013 Pick-A-Chef.

Good and gooey! This is better than your typical cream of soup dish. There was not any distinctive seasoning you could taste. I could not taste the lime or the red curry paste. IMO, it needs a little bit more seasoning. My DH said not to change a thing. I used cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs. I also cut the chicken in chunks and cooked at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour.

This was absolutely delicious. I used one of the warm roasted whole chickens that you buy at the gocery store-just cut it up. Also, I used 4 slices of bread cubed and tossed with melted butter for the topping They came out nicely browned-perfect. My father, who has probably never had curry in his life, had 3 helpings of this. The cubed bread topping was because I didn't read the directions. However, it was a favorable error. This recipe went home with my mother as a real winner

Absolutely delicious. Like delicious, cheesy snowflakes, every bite was unique and different. I enjoyed this wonderful casserole with a healthy helping of brown rice and practically licked my plate clean.

I made this with firstkitchen last night and it was SO delicious! We boiled the chicken and replaced the can of cream of mushroom with another of cream of chicken per my own preference. We also added little more curry than was called for, and it was absolutely delicious. The curry isn't very pronounced, but gives it a really delicious heat that is way worth a try even if you don't like curry. I loved it!
