Chicken Divan

This "casserole" type dish is one of the many recipes that seem to satisfy us on busy nights. Any time I can find fresh broccoli I'll use that instead of the frozen. Also, I like to make everything in advance and it's all ready waiting for me to just cook after a long day. What better way to wind down on a week night with a delicious meal and a glass of the white wine you had to open for this recipe.

Chicken Divan

5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 packages frozen broccoli

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup white wine

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup ritz cracker crumbs

1/2 cup margarine melted

Boil chicken until done, cut into strips. Cook broccoli until tender, drain and arrange stalks in a casserole dish. Place chicken down the center.

Combine soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and wine. Pour over chicken and broccoli. Sprinkle with cheese. Combine cracker crumbs and margarine; sprinkle all over.

Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
