For everyone who has asked me for this recipe...here you go! (Love you, Emily!) If it sounds like a crazy combo, just make it anyway...it is a great way to feed a lot of people on a small budget. Recipe can be halved or doubled.
Chicken Broccoli Bake
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
2 lbs. broccoli, cooked till tender and drained
4 cups cooked rice
Sauce (recipe follows)
2 cups crushed corn flake cereal
2 tbsp. melted butter
In greased casserole layer rice, chicken and broccoli. Top with sauce. Mix cereal crumbs with butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Casserole will be bubbly and crumbs nicely browned.
Sauce:
2 cups cold milk
1 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth, or hot water and bouillon
1 cup mayonnaise (just close your eyes and put it in…it’s what makes it yummy)
1-2 tbsp. curry powder, depending on how well you like it. I always use more!
2 tbsp. lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
In a COLD pan place milk and flour. Mix with whisk till no lumps remain. Add broth and whisk well. Put over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly till thickened. Remove from heat and add mayonnaise, curry and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. I have made this with fat free mayo and it is very disappointing. Better to have the real thing occasionally than to sacrifice the real mayonnaise!
