How to Make Bengal Tiger Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Place 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish (9x13 inch).
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
  5. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese with a tablespoon of the sauce and sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. For doubled recipe: Use 1.5 cups mayonnaise instead of doubling the original amount.
  8. Serve this delightful chicken curry over fluffy jasmine rice.
  9. Enjoy immediately or savor the even better flavor the next day as leftovers!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
