Christmas Brunch at Paula's House 12/08

Chicken Divan

4 whole deboned chicken breasts (8 pieces)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. curry powder
11/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 10oz. pkg. frozen broccoli
4 T. melted butter
2 cans cream of mushroom soup

Pre-cook the chicken, pre-cook the broccoli. Spread broccoli in casserole dish. Combine soup, lemon juice, curry powder and mayonnaise. Add chicken to mixture and then spread over broccoli. Sprinkle cheese over chicken mixture. Add bread crumbs to melted butter and then sprinkle over cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes or till bubbly. Serve over rice.

For my family I cut the recipe in half. I also use fresh broccoli and partially cook before assembly draining well. I have to admit I don’t measure the cheese and bread crumbs. I just make sure there is a nice layer of each.
