A delightful and easy-to-make casserole featuring tender chicken, fresh broccoli, and a creamy, cheesy sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and red curry paste until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the sauce mixture.
Cutting the chicken into smaller pieces helps it cook evenly.
Chop the broccoli into florets and mix them into the chicken and sauce mixture.
Ensure the broccoli is evenly coated with the sauce.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth out the top for even cooking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the bread crumbs mixed with melted butter.
The buttered bread crumbs create a golden, crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Allowing it to cool slightly makes serving easier and safer.
