Chicken Divan  http://recipes.familyeducation.com/main-dishes/chicken-divan/49292.html

This version of the classic creamy chicken dish will be as welcome as the original!
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
3 cups frozen cut broccoli, thawed

1/2 cups (8 ounces) diced cooked chicken breast

1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup

1/3 cup skim milk

1 teaspoon dried onion flakes

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (2 1/4 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.

Evenly arrange broccoli in prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chicken evenly over broccoli.

In a small bowl, combine chicken soup, skim milk, onion flakes, and parsley flakes.

Spread soup mixture evenly over chicken. Evenly sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Place baking dish on a wire rack and let set for 5 minutes. Divide into 4 servings.

Tips: 1. Thaw broccoli by placing in a colander and rinsing under hot water. 2. If preferred, a 10-ounce package frozen broccoli spears, thawed, may be substituted for cut broccoli. 3. If you don't have leftovers, purchase a chunk of cooked chicken breast from your local deli.
