109.0. "Chicken Divan" by EDSVAX::SBALLINGER () Fri Oct 16 1987 14:44

    I also have an easy recipe that's great!  
    
    CHICKEN DIVAN
    
    1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli (cut bite size)
    1 1/2 cups chopped chicken  ("")
        1 can  Cream of Mushroom soup
      1/2 tsp  curry powder
        1 tbl  Mayonaise
               Bread crumbs
        2 tsp  butter
    
    all you have to do is put your chicken and broccoli into a 
    medium sized casserole.  In a separate bowl, add the rest
    of your ingredients, soup, powder, mayo and currey.  Blend
    these together it is fairly smooth.  (don't knock yourself
    out).  Pour this sauce over the chicken/broccoli mix and 
    sprinkle with bread crumbs and pieces of butter.  Cover and
    bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.
    
    You can add ingredients to taste, but I guarantee you'll
    love this recipe!  It's soooooo easy.

     I make a Turkey Divan that can just as easily be made with Chicken.
    Place left over Chicken or Turkey (from a previous meal) in a flat
    cassarole along with cooked broccoli spears (I only use 1 pkg) and
    cover with Hollandaise sauce ( I make mine in the blender ) and
    add some grated Romano and Parmessan cheese over the top. Bake in
    a moderate oven until top is starting to brown. Remove and enjoy.
