Chicken Divine
Yes yes yes, I know that most people call this one chicken divan but this casserole is just so darn good that you just have to call it divine. I love casseroles. I love the fact that you can make them in advance, I love that you can throw anything leftover in the fridge into them, I love that dinner is ready by the time you get home from soccer practice!
I love that the weather has been cooler the last few days here in the northeast. It’s going to be our first fall here and that is my favorite time of year. It’s almost here and the kids are starting school next week. This is great recipe for your arsenal when you need to get dinner on the table fast and homework done.
Serves: 8 Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 40 minutes
10 ounces steamed broccoli
3 large boneless chicken breasts
1 T olive oil
1 10 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces buttom mushrooms, halved
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 t. fresh lemon juice
1/2 t. curry powder
1 can sliced water chestnuts
S&P
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup french fried onions
4 strips bacon chopped
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Season your chicken breasts with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes. 
Meanwhile heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add your chopped bacon and saute until crisp. Remove and allow to drain on a paper towel.
While your chicken cooks, assemble your casserole. 
In a 13×9 pan arrange your broccoli on the bottom. In a large bowl combine soup, milk, mayo, sour cream, mushrooms, lemon juice, curry powder, water chestnuts. Stir to mix well and season with salt and pepper. 
Once your chicken has finished cooking remove it from the oven and slice it into thin strips. Arrange the chicken over the broccoli.
Pour the soup mixture over the top of the chicken and broccoli. Top with cheddar cheese and fried onions. Cover with foil and bake on 375 degrees for 30 minutes. 
Remove foil and sprinkle with bacon and cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. Serve with brown or white rice and enjoy!

I LOVE casseroles, but Ben doesn’t. Sigh.
Casseroles are great when one needs to clear the decks and can’t spend a lot of time in preparation. This one certainly does look divine. Thanks!
Oh yes…one of those no-boundaries casseroles. I love them and have a weakness for them! unfortunately.
By the way, you and I could not cook together in the same kitchen. We’d be fighting over who gets to eat the olives!!
That is such a good standby! That is a great back to school dinner! Just became a follower. Found you at Follow Me Back Tuesday. Joni
