My wife, Linda, got this recipe from my SIL back in the early 70's, and it's been a "frequent flyer" in our home ever since. There are variations online to change it up. I would like to try it sometime with cauliflower or mix cauliflower & broccoli.
CHICKEN "DIVINE" (BROCCOLI) CASSEROLE
2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli (you can also use fresh, just break it up in small pieces)
4-6 chicken breasts, cooked (remove skins and bones), cut into 1/2" pieces
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 c. mayonnaise
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. Pepperidge Farm Stuffing mix (or seasoned bread crumbs)
2 tbsp. butter
1 c. cheddar cheese, grated
Mix together soup, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. In a pan melt butter and mix in stuffing mix or bread crumbs. Remove from heat and cool. Layer broccoli on bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Place diced chicken on top of broccoli. Pour over the 3 ingredients previously mixed together and then add the cheese and top with buttered crumbs. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
