I was so happy to see someone post a request for chicken casserole recipes that I'll submit my favorite in hopes of starting a trend. My mother taught me this one a long time ago and we have had a family tradition of success with it. Hope you all enjoy it, too! Chicken Divan ======= ===== bagged frozen broccoli pieces 1 chicken, boiled and cubed 1 can Campbell's Cream of Shrimp soup 1 cup mayonnaise lemon juice, approx. 2 tablespoons salt and pepper to taste curry (very optional) Colby cheddar cheese, approx. 2 cups, shredded crushed Ritz crackers melted butter (optional) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large casserole dish, spread frozen broccoli pieces to cover bottom of dish. Cover broccoli with a layer of chicken. Separately, mix soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and spices. Spread mixture over chicken. Cover with a layer of cheese. Top with crushed crackers. For extra calories, drizzle butter over crackers. Bake one hour at 400. Serve with/over rice. Notes: o All measures and choice of cheese are relative. Experiment to taste. o I usually boil and cube the chicken ahead of time since this is the part that involves the most work. Or, if I'm really organized , I keep prepared chicken in the freezer. o I often make two at one time and freeze one, uncooked, covered with foil. o Be sure to make enough so that you can enjoy the left- overs.
