Chicken Broccoli Casserole

I can't believe we don't already have this recipe on here. It is such a staple for every Sprague household.

Bag Chopped Broccoli
4 Chicken Breasts (boiled and cut-up)
1 C. Mayonnaise
1/2 C. Milk
2 Cans Cream of Celery or Cream of Chicken Soup
1 C. Shredded Cheese
1/2 tsp. Curry Powder
1 tsp. Lemon Juice
3 Slices of Bread (optional)

Layer the broccoli in the bottom of a cake pan. Add the cut-up chicken on top. In a bowl mix mayo, milk, soup, cheese, curry powder, and lemon juice until well combined. Put the soup mixture on the very top and break up the pieces of bread on top (optional). I skip the bread and put more cheese on the top. My family likes to put the Chinese chow mien noodles on top of it. I just like it plain.

Lime slices, optional

Directions: In a 4-qt. freezer container, combine the water, sugar and limeade concentrate until sugar is dissolved; cover and freeze. Remove from the freezer several hours before serving. Chop mixture until slushy. Add soda just before serving. Garnish with lime slices if desired.
