Introduction
This is a creamy curry cheesy (one of those isn't an adjective!) chicken and broccoli dish that I loved, but couldn't bring myself to eat until I changed around some of the ingredients (swapping 1 cup of yogurt instead of 1 cup of mayo and using a home-made "cream of soup" recipe).

Ingredients
-
Cream of soup:
* 2 cups nonfat milk
* 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
* 2 cups chicken broth
* 2 oz broccoli, give or take, chopped up very small
* 1/2 cup flour
Everything else:
* 20 oz broccoli spears, cut long and thin (fresh, frozen, whatevs)
* 3 chicken breasts cooked and boned
* 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
* 1 tsp lemon juice ( I use lime)
* 2 tsp – 1 Tbsp curry powder (I use the full Tbsp)
* 1/2 – 3/4 cups very sharp cheese
When serving: 1 cup of egg noodles, cooked, per person
Directions
Soup:
Follow the "cream of soup" directions here; make a DOUBLE BATCH: http://chaosinthekitchen.com/2009/11/cream-of-soup-substitute/
The rest:
Cook broccoli in salted water til bright, then drain well. (Don’t overdo this step, but also don’t skip it completely. Uncooked broccoli doesn’t bake through enough in 25 minutes; trust me.)
Arrange in 11×7″ or 13×9″ baking dish. Place chicken on top.
Combine soup, yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, and pour over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees, 25-30 min.
Serve over egg noodles, traditionally, though it would be good over rice or whole wheat pasta, too. (Calorie calculation DOES take egg noodles into account.)
Works well to make ahead.
Serving Size: Makes 6 generous servings.
