Chicken Casserole Del Sol


    Mix together:
    2 cans cream of chicken soup ( undiluted)
    1 cup mayonanaise,
    2 tsp. lemon juice,
    1/2 to 3-4 tsp. curry powder

     In large bowl mix:
    4 cups cooked chicken, cubed (2 whole cooked chicken breasts)
    1 pkg. ( 16oz) frozen mixed vegetables
    (combination of broccoli, carrots, peppers & mushrooms)
    1 small can water chestnuts, drained & sliced.

    Vegetables do not have to be thawed. Mix all together with the sauce.
    Put into casserole.

    Spread over top:
    1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese,
    and over all:
    mixture of
    2 cups cornflake crumbs
    1/3 cup melted butter
    2 tsp. minced fresh parsely.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until bubbly. Can be assembled ahead of
    time ( even a day) and refrigerated but must be brought to room temperature before baking. Can also be frozen, uncooked.  Serves 12.

    Note: for very large crowd, it is easier to cook a couple of turkeys and cut them up,
    rather than poaching the chicken breasts. We found that two whole breasts of chicken were needed to serve 12.
