Chicken Divan

 
3 broccoli crowns (cut up)
2-3 chicken breasts (cut up)
cheddar cheese
French's French Fried Onion Rings (Great Value brand is a cheaper way to go) - also these are found by the canned vegetables - I have searched for them several times.
Cooked Rice

For the sauce mix the following in a bowl:
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 c. mayonnaise (don't use salad dressing)
1 T. lemon juice
1 t. curry powder

Cook chicken as desired (I like to boil mine) and then cut up into bite size pieces and set aside.  Cut up broccoli and cook until tender.  Place broccoli in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Top with chicken pieces.  Pour mixture over the chicken and spread evenly.  Cover with slices of cheese.  Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.  Remove and top with 1 can of French's French Fried Onion Rings (or 1 large bag of Great Value Onion Rings).  Return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes until onions are light brown.  Serve over cooked rice.  Makes about 6 servings.
