Best Chicken Broccoli Casserole Ever

Amy - Ellie's Mommie's Note:

My friend Kevin made this one night for his own dinner. About 5 or 6 people then wandered into his house around dinnertime and demanded "just a taste". Kevin had to go to McDonald's because we ate all his supper! Although I am not a fan of soup food in general, this is one of the best incarnations of the genre I have ever seen! Bring on the can opener and enjoy!

This was so good! I made the sauce in the morning cutting the curry powder by half (we like just a hint of curry). At supper time, I assembled the dish and baked it. Quick, easy and very flavorful. Thank you Amy, for a wonderful meal!!!! :-)

Best casserole dish I've ever had!

I followed the directions to the letter; 450 degrees is too hot for 1.5 hrs. Too many croutons soaked up the sauce. Taste was not the best.
