• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 3 -4 large chicken breasts, skinned & deboned
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bunch fresh broccoli, if you like (about 10 oz. (or more)
• 2 (10 ounce) cans fat-free cream of chicken soup
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

directions

1. Cut Chicken into 2” x 4” Pieces and sprinkle with pepper. Saute slowly in oil over medium heat until white and opaque, about 6 minutes; drain.
2. Cook Broccoli until tender crisp, drain and arrange in bottom of buttered 7” diameter casserole dish. Place Chicken on top.
3. Mix soup, Mayonnaise, Curry, and Lemon Juice together. Pour over Chicken and Veggies.
4. Sprinkle top with Cheddar Cheese and bake uncovered at 375˚F (190˚C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
5. Serve over rice.
6. Note: You can use fat free or low calorie mayo, no one will never taste the difference. You can also use 1/4 cup fat free mayo and 1/4 cup fat free sour cream instead. I have found that adding some fresh lemon thyme adds a nice flavor.
7. Chop up a whole fresh red or yellow pepper (yellow hides in the sauce better for fussy kids), half an onion (chopped), and 1 or 2 cloves of garlic (minced) and throw it in with the chicken when you are sauteing it. Adds a bit more color and flavor to the dish.
