How to Make Easy Chicken Divan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Steam or boil 1 large head of broccoli florets until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Drain well and arrange in a greased 9x11 inch baking dish.
  3. Cut 2 cooked chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) into 1/2-inch slices and arrange over the broccoli.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. This is your 'magic sauce'!
  5. Pour the 'magic sauce' evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  6. Sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. If preparing ahead, refrigerate the assembled dish and bake for 50-55 minutes.
  8. If starting with raw chicken breasts, pre-cook them until fully done before assembling and baking. Add 30-40 minutes to the total cooking time to account for chicken cooking time.
