| Chicken Divan Serves 6 - 8.
This old-fashioned dish from the 1950s is still a southern
favorite. If you use light soup, light mayonnaise, and light sour cream, this
doesn't have to be so heinously unhealthy. I usually strike a balance, with the
light soup and the regular mayo and sour cream. Like Austin Powers, I, too, like to
live dangerously.
This dish reheats very well. I've even frozen it in
individual serving sizes and taken it for lunch. Yum.
Ingredients:
- 3 large heads broccoli, in spears, steamed
- 1 10.75 oz. can cream of chicken soup

- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1/4 tsp curry powder
- 8 chicken breasts, cooked, boned, chopped (or, better, pulled apart)

Method
- Arrange steamed broccoli in a 13x9x2 inch pan.
- Mix soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, sherry, paprika, mustard and curry
powder. Spread half this mixture over broccoli. Add chicken and spread remaining

bake an additional 5 - 10 minutes. Serve hot.
