Chicken Divan

Serves: 6

3 chicken breasts: ( I roast these in the oven at 350 degrees drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper for about 30- 40 mins. ) This is how I prepare chicken

for all recipes that call for cooked chicken. Learned this from Ina Garten, don’t cook

too long or it will get dry. You can test it for doneness by cutting into it with a knife.

It’s ready when the juices run clear.

Slice the chicken breast into 1/8 inch slices. You can use left over turkey for this

recipe also.

2 heads of broccoli cut into small pieces and par boiled. I cover with saran and

cook in the microwave, don’t overcook since it will continue to cook in the casserole.

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 cup of mayonnaise

1   8 oz carton of reduced fat sour cream

1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp curry powder ( it’s just as good without it if you don’t like curry)

Salt and pepper to taste

Parmesan cheese

Paprika

Mix soups, sour cream, mayo, grated cheese and seasonings through salt and pepper.

Arrange drained broccoli into bottom of oiled 3 quart flat casserole.

Place sliced chicken breast ( or sliced turkey) over broccoli.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese ( the amount is to your taste)

Pour sauce over.

Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese and paprika.

Dot with butter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 mins. or until bubbly.

This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
