This recipe was perfected by generations of Brummers.

Ingredients:
Boneless chicken breast (3 or 4 pieces)
Mayo
Lemon Juice
Flour
Bread Crumbs (Plain)
Chopped Broccoli
Cream of Chicken Soup
Margarine
Mild Cheddar Cheese
Onions (if desired)

Boil Chicken at medium heat for atleast 1.5 hours. Watch closely when you heat it up or it will foam over. Add minced onion and salt if desired. Let chicken cool down and break into bite size pieces. Save Broth!!

Put Broccoli into saucepan, add water and heat up just until broccoli is thawed out. Remove from heat and strain.

Mix can of soup, 1/2 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and chicken broth (1/3 cup broth mixed with 3 tablespoons flour) together and stir until all lumps are one.

Grate about 1.5 cups of the cheese and save.

Take 9 inch square casserole dish and semi cooked broccoli on bottom layer, then bite sized chicken and onion for second layer. Pour sauce mix over these two first layers and make sure it is uniformly spread. Top off with the grated cheddar cheese.

Preheat oven to 325 F. Cover dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven at 325 F for 50 minutes.

While it is cooking take a coffee cup and add 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, cover and heat for about 30 seconds in microwave or until melted. Add 3/4 cup of bread crumbs and mix up well so all breadcrumbs have contacted butter.

After casserole has heated for 50 minutes remove from oven and spread the breadcrumbs evenly over the casserole. Cover again and put back in the oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven, remove cover and let it set for 10 minutes before serving.

Bon Appetit, Chicken Divan.
