How to Make Chicken Broccoli Elegant

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  3. Blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 medium onion, 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tablespoons butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and ½ teaspoon curry powder.
  6. Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the blanched broccoli.
  7. Pour the chicken mixture evenly over the broccoli.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Top with 1 cup buttered cracker crumbs (made by mixing 1 cup crushed crackers with 2 tablespoons melted butter).
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
