The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, and curry powder until smooth.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Make sure there are no lumps in the sauce for the best texture.
- 3
Spread the broccoli florets in an even layer across the bottom of a 2-quart (or 9x9 inch) baking dish.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Using fresh or thawed frozen broccoli works equally well.
- 4
Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the broccoli, then season them with salt and black pepper.
About 2 min
- 5
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring everything is well coated.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Use a spatula to scrape the bowl clean and get all the sauce.
- 6
Cover the baking dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Covering the dish steams the broccoli and keeps the chicken moist.
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
Cook’s note: Chicken is cooked when a thermometer reads 74°C (165°F) or the juices run clear.
- 8
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest, still covered, for 5 minutes.
Cook’s note: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender chicken.
- 9
Sprinkle with the optional dried basil or paprika just before serving.
