Broccoli Chicken Curry Casserole – a creamy, delicious curry dish made with fresh broccoli, chicken, and a crispy cheese topping.
This Broccoli Chicken Curry Casserole is an excellent addition to the dinner table! It’s super easy to make and is a delicious family favorite!
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
One of the first dishes my mother-in-law ever made us was this Broccoli Chicken Curry Casserole. I had never, ever heard of it, and I will be honest, I was a little put off by the cooked broccoli and the fact that it was a casserole. Well, it was delicious!
Why my family loves this recipe!
The delicious crispy bread crumbs and cheese are just the perfect topper, ready to bake in 10 minutes. You will be surprised how perfectly the broccoli comes out and the creamy curry sauce brings it all together.
This casserole is my go-to dish for family and friends when they need a meal. One, because it freezes tremendously, and two, it is so comforting, yet not your traditional casserole.
My son, Madden, is our pickiest eater and loves this recipe.

I have been making this a long time and like you said it is really good!
It is so good and glad I finally tried it.
Such a flavorful broccoli recipe.
Do you cover the 9 x 13 pan while baking? Sounds delish.
Do not cover the pan – leave uncovered. Enjoy!
This sound positively delicious!! I’m a sucker for a new casserole recipe
An absolute hit with the kids and us. Daughter said the dish looked like sagebrush, with the broccoli dotting a sandy colored landscape! So we’ll dub it ‘sagebrush casserole’ around here!
Grease/butter/spray the pan or no?
I don’t but you could use Pam cooking spray.
I don’t grease the pan Nathan. I add a Tablespoon of lemon juice. Gives it a tangy zing.
I’ve made this a dozen times for my husband from his mom’s similar recipe. Your recipe was my best one ever, and I even made my own cream of chicken soup. I was out of the canned and found “cream of chicken substitute” -super easy and tasted much better than the canned. I steamed the broccoli-still firm when I put it in pan. Do you not have to cook it first? Mom-in-law uses frozen brocc., but I prefer fresh. I’m so glad you said to mix the chicken with the mayo & soup, then pour over broccoli. I was unclear about putting the chicken in first, then the broccoli…I finally got it right with your recipe, and we loved it. He even ate a bowlful the next morning for breakfast! I also put tabs of butter on top of the bread crumbs. Thank you!
do you cook the broccoli first or just put it in raw?
Put it in raw.
Suddenly had a craving for this- haven’t had it since I was a kid! Does the recipe call for granulated garlic or sugar?
LOL! Garlic, sorry switched recipe cards this week and not everything was smooth! xo
Your recipe is so good…delicious flavor all the way to the yummy crispy topping! Thx, again!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The meal is delicious, I added half a teaspoon of paprika, doubled the garlic, and added ground pepper. Your calorie calculation is very low though. I think you forgot the high calorie mayonnaise!
Not sure if the counter was not working right when you checked, but it should be correct now! We did edit this a little but it is showing us the 1 cup of mayo has about 1500 calories. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Very delicious, this recipe is very similar to how my Mom made it for our family only that instead of bread crumbs we’d buy plain bagels for the topping.
We take 3 whole bagels, butterfly slice them then cut them into square cubes about the size of a coin… toss them into a large bowl of melted butter (maybe 1 to 2 tablespoon) and a pinch of salt and spread them over the top of the casserole.
I love this twist with the bagels, I will be trying it, thank you!
Must parboil the broccoli or cover for the first 15 minutes. The broccoli was tough and the sauce sat on top of the broccoli and did not penetrate. I used Campbells condensed. Should I add a can of water to the condensed soup?
No, I have made this casserole hundreds of times – if you chop your broccoli you will be fine, you do not need to boil.
Hi. Do I freeze it after assembling but before cooking? And what would the instructions be for cooking or reheating from frozen?
Thanks!
Hi Jen – i haven’t tried this. I would note that if you assemble and freeze, do not add the bread crumbs until right before cooking. I would remove from the freezer and set in the fridge overnight to defrost and then cook the next day according to directions. I hope this helps.
Can you use frozen brocolli florets?
I have never tried this, but if you do, I would reduce the baking time at 10 minutes and check it then. Pop back in the oven if you need.
Adding curry is such a great way to add surprising flavor to a family dinner classic. I made this for dinner last night, and everyone loved it!
Thanks for this recipe! The curry flavor is spot-on; that crispy cheese topping is to die for.
I’m definitely making these again for a weeknight dinner! It’s a great way to get a healthy and flavorful meal on the table quickly!
The Broccoli Chicken Curry Casserole was a hit at dinner! The curry flavor was just right and the combination of chicken and broccoli was perfect. It’s a comforting and delicious dish that I’ll be making again.
Absolutely so fantastic. Easy to put together, creamy and very delicious. Everyone loved it.
This was so good, my kids loved it also! Will be a new regular menu item
