Ingredients
  

Curry Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1½ cup chicken stock (or broth)
  • 8 oz. cream cheese (regular or light)

Casserole Layers

  • 3 cups cooked chicken or turkey (shredded or diced )
  • 16 oz. broccoli (chopped and steamed)

Casserole Topping

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ½ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoon butter (melted)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Prepare the Curry Sauce

  • In a medium sauce pan, melt butter on medium heat.
  • When butter is fully melted, add flour, curry powder, and salt and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add in the chicken stock slowly while whisking to remove lumps. Cook until bubbling and thickened.
  • Stir in the cream cheese until melted and set the sauce aside.

Prepare the Cheese and Breadcrumb Topping

  • Stir together melted butter, breadcrumbs, and shredded cheese until everything is coated with butter.

Layer the Casserole

  • Spray your 9"x13" pan with cooking spray and put a thin layer of the curry sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  • Spread the broccoli in a layer on top of the curry sauce evenly.
  • Sprinkle the chicken over the broccoli.
  • Spread the remaining curry sauce over the chicken in an even layer, making sure all of the layers beneath are covered.
  • Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb topping evenly over the casserole.

Baking

  • Bake the casserole, uncovered, at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, until it is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are toasted.
