Chicken Divan


This is one of my family favorites.  It can be made ahead of time and then just heated in the oven when you are ready to have dinner.  I like to make this recipe for guests as I can make it, clean up and then just have it in the oven when I am socializing before dinner.

Recipe:

4 whole chicken breasts - or 8 split breasts  - cook in a large pot of boiling water for approx 30 min until the chicken is no longer pink.

2 heads of broccoli chopped in bite size pieces - cook in boiling water until crisp tender

Mix together the following ingredients in a bowl:
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 teas. Lemon juice
1/2 teas. curry powder

Place the cooked broccoli on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Layer the cooked chicken breasts on top.  Then pour the liquid from the bowl on top.  For the final step melt 1 T butter and mix with 1/2 cup bread crumbs.  Spread the buttered bread crumbs on top and bake at 350 for 30-40 min until hot.
