Excellent dish! Very easy to make and the taste was great. I microwaved the broccoli about five minutes on high. The next time I make the dish I think I will cut my chicken breasts up into strips before putting them into the casserole dish so that the flavor of the sauce can more easily penetrate. Thanks for the recipe.

I make this dish a bit differently. I steam my small bite size broccoli pieces in the microwave, on level 7 for 8 minutes. It comes out cooked, but firm. Then I take my boneless chicken breasts and cook them in the microwave as well. When cooled down cut them into bite size pieces. I put the broccoli in the bottom of a well buttered casserole dish, then cover with the chicken. Over that I put the mixture of evaporated milk, can of cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, cheddar cheese. While I have the oven warming I put 4 or 5 pieces of bread in the oven to brown. As soon as the bread is browned, I take them out and butter them on both sides, then cut them into crouton size pieces. Take everything from the bread, all the crumbs and put that on top of the creamed mixture. Put in oven for 1/2 hour or until the top is heated through and top is bubbly.

My family liked it, but weren't super excited. I'd never "boiled" chicken before. I thought it turned out pretty tasteless compared to just cubing and browning it, so I'll do it that way next time. Also, I agree that some onions would be a good addition.

Very good and easy recipe! I agree that I would chop the chicken up to absorb the flavors a bit more. I left the chicken breasts whole, but it was still very delicious! I would definately make this again!!

this recipe came together well. The flavor is not over-powering of any of the ingredients. The one thing I would add the next time is a 1/2 cup of chopped onions. Well Done!
