Chicken Broccoli Casserole (Chicken Divan)

2 (10-oz.) pkgs frozen chopped broccoli
2 large whole chicken breasts cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. evaporated milk
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 T lemon juice
3/4 tsp. curry powder
2 c. corn flakes
1/4 c. margarine or butter, melted

Cook broccoli according to package directions.  Drain well.  Place in a lightly greased 2 quart casserole dish.  Top broccoli with chicken.  Combine soup, mayonnaise, milk, cheese, lemon juice, and curry powder.  Mix well.  Spoon over chicken.  Toss corn flakes with butter and top casserole with mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbling hot.

This is a great dish with things that are usually in my pantry.  I have to remember to pick up broccoli, sometimes I use fresh, sometimes frozen, doesn’t matter.  Instead of corn flakes you can use any kind of flaky cereal, potato chips, or fresh bread crumbs.  I had leftover broccoli so I just served that as the side.
