Borrowed from Kim

• 1 box Caroline white rice
• 2 packages (10 ounces each) broccoli spears, or 1 large bunch fresh trimmed broccoli
• 4 cooked chicken breasts, sliced
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup mayonnaise 
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• Ritz crackers, crumbles and sautéed with 2 tablespoons butter and garlic salt

Cook rice and spread as first layer in a baking/casserole dish.  Cook broccoli in a small amount of boiling water until crisp-tender; drain. Arrange the broccoli as second layer in dish. Layer cooked chicken over the broccoli spears.

Separately, combine the soup with mayonnaise in a small bowl until well blended; pour mixture over chicken. Add top layer of shredded cheese. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, until heated thoroughly and cheese is bubbling.  Sprinkle Ritz crackers on top and cook for an additional 5 minutes.  Chicken divan recipe serves about 6.
