Chicken divan

Great chicken and broccoli recipe. Thanks Jen Schmidt at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. It even makes me want to buy tinned soup....

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen broccoli spears (or what you have on hand)
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken (or your choice. I’ve mixed mushroom, chicken and even cream of celery soup. If you have homemade made up, even better.)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese, sharp
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs*
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • seasoning salt, pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cook broccoli in microwave according to package.
  3. When broccoli is finished, place broccoli in a greased 9×13 baking dish and top with chicken. Liberally salt and pepper chicken breast. I use a basic seasoning salt or garlic salt.
  4. While broccoli is cooking in microwave begin sauce.
  5. Combine soup and next 3 ingredients in saucepan.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the cheese melts.
  7. Pour sauce over chicken and broccoli.
  8. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and drizzle butter over breadcrumbs.
  9. Bake, uncovered for 40 minutes or until chicken is done. (Check at 30 minutes and cut small slice in middle of one chicken breast to check.)
