No. 464 - Curried Chicken Divan
prep time: 1 hourcook time: 40 Mtotal time: 1 H & 40 M
Ingredients:
- 1 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 2-3 uncooked chicken breasts
- Drizzle of olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 large head broccoli
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp curry powder (divided)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup ***
- 4 slices bread
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions:
Assemble prepared ingredients:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put the chicken breasts straight onto the paper. Drizzle with a smidge bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and half the curry powder. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 internal temperature.
While chicken is baking:
- Shred cheese onto a piece of wax paper, set aside.
- Trim broccoli, place in a microwave safe container with a splash of water. Cover and steam for 6 minutes or whatever your microwave takes to produce a crisp tender broccoli.
- Cut bread pieces into cubes. Set aside.
Assembly:
- In a large mixing bowl, add rice, broccoli and chicken which has been cut into cubes after cooling enough to handle. Add cream of mushroom soup, stir to combine, add 1/2 can of water to the mixture. This should be fairly loose, as the rice will absorb some extra liquid. Add cheddar cheese, combine all ingredients well.
- Place mixture into a greased casserole dish. Rinse mixing bowl, place butter in the bowl, and melt in the microwave, 30-40 seconds. Add cubed bread crumbs, stir to coat and top casserole, spreading evenly. Bake 30 minutes uncovered or until bubbly and breadcrumbs have browned.
- Enjoy!
NOTES:
Try adding some dry mustard to the mix.
