Recipe - Chicken Divan

I got this from Laura, a good friend and former roommate in Virginia Beach. She'd make it often for us, and I just loved it. I made it recently for Sean, and now he's a fan too. I'm a sucker for a good casserole.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 package of frozen broccoli or a few (I used 4) stalks of fresh
• 2 - 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 1/2 cups of rice (I prefer jasmine for this)
• 1/2 cup mayo (not miracle whip)
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp curry powder
• Shredded cheddar cheese for topping

 Preparing casserole:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Cook rice and spread on bottom of lightly greased casserole dish.
• Cook chicken (boiled for 20 minutes), cut up in bite-size pieces or shred and arrange on top of rice
• Cook broccoli al dente and arrange on top of chicken

 

While those are cooking, you can prepare The Sauce:

• Mix mayo, soup, lemon juice, and curry powder in bowl
  
• Pour sauce mixture over the rice, chicken and broccoli in casserole dish
• Sprinkle with cheddar cheese
• Bake for 30 min: 10 minutes with foil on, and then 20 minutes with foil off
