Chicken Divan

When growing up, we got to spend a couple weeks each summer in the Bay Area visiting my aunt & uncle and their kids. My aunt would make chicken divan. It took me several years to find a recipe that tasted similar to hers. It's still not as good as hers is, but we all enjoy it.

2 Cups chicken, cooked and chopped
2 Cups frozen broccoli
1 Can cream of mushroom soup
1 Can cream of chicken soup
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
4 Cups rice, uncooked
1/2 Cup grated cheddar cheese

Microwave broccoli until heated through. Remove excess water. Combine soups, curry and mayonnaise. Spread soup combo across bottom of 9x13 pan. Evenly spread chicken and broccoli on top of soup mixture. Sprinkle cheese across top. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. While casserole is baking, prepare rice according to package directions. Serve casserole over rice.
