"Better than Classy" Chicken Divan

I've squared off with a few people over the years as to what exactly is on my plate at lunch. They call it Classy Chicken. I call it Chicken Divan. What divides these two delicious dinners is about a teaspoon of curry and 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. Not enough to start an all out war over, but I still maintain Divan is better. Recipe is courtesy of my mom, the one and only Margie Heard.

2 10 oz frozen broccoli spears (I use about 1 1/2 fresh broccoli heads)
2 cups cooked chicken (a roasted one from the store saves you time)
2 cans of cream of chicken soup (get No Name brand at Superstore if you want gluten-free)
1 cup of mayo (I always go low fat)
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 cup bread crumbs (gluten-free)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar (or more)
1 Tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook broccoli until just tender. I tend to boil/steam it. Arrange stalks in a greased 11x7 dish (or 8x8 if you broke the other one like me). Add chicken.

Combine soup, mayo, lemon juice and curry. Pour on broccoli and chicken.

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs with melted butter and fluff with a fork. Sprinkle this over the dish.

Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. I serve it with brown rice. Serves 4-6.

Sidebar: What makes my mom so special? Well, for one she's put up with me for 32 years and 6 concussions (stories to follow later). But mostly she's awesome cause she takes pictures like this when she stays up later than me over the holidays.
