Easy Chicken Divan

(adapted from a recipe in Better Homes and Gardens Casserole Cook Book, 1961)

2 pounds frozen broccoli
3 c sliced cooked chicken breasts (about 1-1/2 lbs raw boneless, skinless breasts)
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup (or equivalent CREAM OF WHATEVER SOUP)
1 c mayo
1 t lemon juice
1/2 t curry powder
1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar (2 ounces)

Cook broccoli until done; drain. Arrange in a greased baking dish. Place chicken on top. Combine soup, mayo, lemon juice and curry powder; spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and bubbly.

Variations:
Use turkey instead of chicken.
Use leftover chicken instead of the cooked chicken breasts.
Use fresh broccoli instead of frozen.
Use cauliflower instead of broccoli, or use a combination.
