Chicken Divan

I first tasted this wonderful dish when I was recovering from a hospital stay.  It was sent from a special friend, who is now my son's MIL.  It's a delicious casserole any time, but fabulous for sending comfort food to a family.  Here's the recipe.

1 box frozen chopped broccoli
2 cups cooked chicken, cut up
2 cans cream of chicken soup                                      
1 cup mayonnaise
1 t. lemon juice (I use 1/2 lemon)
1/2 t. curry powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I love Panko)
1 T. melted butter
 
Partially cook the broccoli & then drain.  Add this to the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan.  Add the chopped, cooked chicken.

Mix the cream of chicken soups, the mayonnaise, lemon juice & curry powder in a medium bowl.   Put this mixture on top of the chicken.  Sprinkle on the cheese & then sprinkle on the breadcrumbs that have been mixed with the melted butter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

  2. A perfect comfort food it is - can't agree more on that!I like the part about combining the breadcrumbs and butter together to form a nice covering over the dish - must be creamy and moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside.Loved the dish very much and hope you have a great weekend ahead dear:)

  7. I have to tell you that this is the first dish I made for my husband when we were still dating :) He had never eaten broccoli before because his father didn't like it. Thanks for reminding me of this delicious recipe! I haven't made it for years.
