When I got married, I asked my husband what some of his favorite dinners were and got the recipes from his mom. One of them was chicken and broccoli casserole. I thought it was pretty great when I saw it was identical to my mom's chicken and broccoli casserole recipe. So perhaps it's the same as your mom's too, but I definitely want to document it since it's a great one!
Ingredients
2 lb broccoli
2-4 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed (depending on size)
1 can cream of chicken soup (you can also make your own recipe, found here)
1/2 C milk
1/2 C Miracle Whip (or mayo)
1 C grated cheddar cheese
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 C bread crumbs (I blend up leftover homemade bread and keep it in a ziploc bag in the freezer)
Directions
Cook broccoli just until bright green--no more or it will be soggy. Layer in 9x13 baking dish and place the cooked, cubed chicken no top. In a medium sauce pan, mix together the cream of chicken soup, milk, and Miracle Whip. Heat slowly, adding the cheese to melt. Add the lemon juice and pour the mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil for the last 15 minutes.
