Chicken Divan

I think there are as many chicken divan recipes as there are chocolate chip cookie recipes. Well, maybe not that many! Some recipes have you put the chicken and broccoli in the pan separately and cover with the sauce. Some make sure their chicken is a whole chicken breast. I personally like my chicken and broccoli in small pieces all mixed together with the sauce. Then serve over steamed rice - yum!

CHICKEN DIVAN
6 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
16oz bag frozen broccoli pieces, defrosted
1 large can Cream of Chicken
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. curry powder
3 TB lemon juice
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine soup, mayo, curry powder and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add baked chicken pieces and broccoli. Stir to combine. Add 1/2 the cheddar cheese. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 in ch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Baked for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Serve over steamed rice.
