Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Curry

Submitted by Cookie16

"This is a classic in my family. It freezes well. I frequently make this for new moms so they don't have to worry about cooking for a night. This is good served over rice or couscous. You can decrease the chicken or broccolli depending on your taste. You can use low fat cream of chicken soup."

This is delicious! It's a healthier version of my grandma's recipe, and to make it even healthier, I replaced the cream soup with the same amount of greek yogurt. I also added 1/2 tsp of dry mustard and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. It was very substantial and satisfying!

This is a great recipe--I've had it myself for about ten years, and it is a family favorite with us as well. We usually serve it over rice, with crescent rolls on the side. Sometimes I don't even bother with the layering, I just toss it all in together. Since my husband loves American cheese, we use that, and it works just as well.
