One of my favorite quick meals to make on a busy day. I like to use steamed brown rice fresh broccoli and instead of curry I use italian seasoning. I also add a good measure fresh ground pepper. Not only is it cheap to make it's filling and comforting on cold days. NOTE: DO NOT skip the greasing step. You will regret it if you don't.

The flavor of this is just outstanding! I halved the recipe but still used 2 cups of rice. Also didn't have curry powder so I subbed garlic powder. Next time I may thaw the broccoli a little beforehand as it was a little crunchy. My picky 6 year old loved it and even asked for seconds:) I will be adding to my rotation thanks!
I made this for our weekly "Family Night" with some friends and it was a great success! Everyone really enjoyed it except for my husband simply because he does not like mayo. When I make it again we're going to try leaving out the mayo or finding a substitute we can both agree on to see if it will work for him. This recipe was enough to feed 6 adults with at least two helpings left over. Served with mixed green salad and garlic bread.
This was in our church cookbook growing up. The only difference in the recipe is that it uses NO RICE and we substitute RITZ crackers for the bread crumbs. Mom and I have started using A LOT more curry powder than it calls for. It's our favorite part. We don't use spicy curry... it's the regular McCormick kind that comes in the red/white can or the little plastic container with the red lid. I tried the "fancy" McCormick kind once and didn't like it at all. I also use Kroger brand Curry and it's the same. One of our family and friends' favorite recipes!
This tasted like cream of chicken soup and mayo.
My Aunt (now 85 yrs. old) use to make this recipe with leftover Turkey after Thanksgiving. I always loved it! I made it tonight with just a few minor changes because I did not have everything on the ingredient list. I used Fresh Broccoli I steamed first cut up a roasted chicken we had from the deli at the supermarket used half plain Greek yogurt and half mayonnaise mixed half brown rice cooked and half Texmati wild rice mix and used crushed whole wheat Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs. We also used mild Cheddar instead of sharp. It came out Great!!!! Even my very picky husband liked it! We will definitely hang on to this recipe for use frequently!!!
Tastes good. I think it would be better if you mixed everything but the cheese and breadcrumbs together before cooking. I make something similar using stuffing instead of rice that is also very good.
Mom's Easy Chicken Divan Haiku: "Why is it layered? Mixing would've been better. Taste was pretty good." This recipe of "Mom's" would've been much easier had the ingredients all been combined (other than the breadcrumb/butter topping) b/c the rice at the bottom tasted like... rice. The chicken and broccoli layers were just that... chicken and broccoli. Why wouldn't I have just prepared rice broccoli and chicken separately and served them that way on a plate b/c this required a thorough stirring upon serving to give all the separate "layers" more FLAVOR. There are plenty of other similar recipes on here for the same ingredients requiring one to mix them all together so I can really only give this particular recipe a 2-3 for its method but not necessarily the taste of everything when it mixed together.
