Favorite. Dinner. Ever. (a.k.a. Mom's Chicken Broccoli Casserole)

Since I was a kid, this has been my favorite dinner.  When I got to request a dinner from my mom, this was it.  It sounds so simple, but there is something about the lemon and the curry powder together that make this so craveable.  I could eat it every day.  It makes enough to last for 2-3 dinners (for two) but I usually eat it for lunch and dinner 'til it's gone (and sometimes cold for breakfast too).  I can't say it's super healthy but it's soooo good.  I also like to make double batches or, like tonight, split it into two and freeze them for future meals.  


I would say it was paid the highest compliment when my hubby told me it was better than his moms :)
