Divine Chicken Divan

Okay, so this is one of Mom's recipes - though I've managed to simplify it into a quickie 30 minute meal:

* 1/2 chicken breast per person
* 1 cup cheddar cheese
* 1/2 cup bread crumbs
* Garlic Salt - Lawry's
* 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 1 tsp curry powder
* 1 tbs butter
* 1 tbs EVOO
* 1 package frozen broccoli
* Rice - White or Jasmine - 1/2 cup per person

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  1. Sprinkle chicken with Lawry's garlic salt and place in between wax paper, or in a gallon freezer bag.
  2. Flatten chicken breast (I like to pound mine with a mini cast iron pan).
  3. Pan fry chicken in 1 tbs EVOO and a smidge of butter (about 3-4 min per side)
  4. Place in casserole dish
  5. In a med. size pan, heat Cream of Chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise and curry powder until warm, and pour over chicken breasts
  6. Cover with shredded cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs - top with small drops of butter or margarine
Serve with broccoli and rice, and hot sourdough rolls - or bread of your choice.

If your kids are like mine, they won't eat if the chicken has sauce on it, or if any food touches anything else. Improvise! I saved some cooked chicken before it was "sauced," and sliced that up for them. I let Rachel eat her rice with soy sauce, as is her favorite, and made Asian Veggies instead of broccoli tonight, because they LOVE the mini corn - and broccoli is still an option for us.

Enjoy! :)
