Curry Chicken Divan

I'm a little surprised that it's taken us this long to write up this recipe... It's pretty much the go-to casserole in our family.  This is the original recipe from mom:

2, 10 oz packages frozen broccoli
4 whole chicken breasts


Sauce
1 can cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk (any milk will work)
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice


Topping
1 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs


1. Grease a 9" x 13" pan. Barely cook and drain broccoli. Spread broccoli in pan and lay
chicken pieces on top.
2. Mix sauce ingredients and spread on top of chicken.
3. Melt butter and mix in dry bread crumbs. (Whole wheat crumbs will work just as well
without butter.) Sprinkle on top
4. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.



Susie and I have altered it a bit.  We've been using fresh broccoli cut up into smaller pieces, and boiling it for about 5 minutes.  We also use shredded chicken, instead of whole chicken breasts.  I think we just like it to be a little more casserole-like.
Just serve it on top of rice, and it's amazing!
