Granny Jane's Chicken Divan

This is Granny Jane's simplified Chicken Divan recipe. Really good served over white rice.

2 10 oz. boxes frozen broccoli spears.
3 chicken breast bone in skin on
2 stalks celery chopped
2 condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
Bread Crumbs

Wash, salt and pepper 3 chicken breast. Boil chicken with celery in enough water to cover, reduce heat to medium cook until tender. Remove chicken from pot, cool and remove skin and bones. Tear the chicken breat meat into small strips.
Cook broccoli until tender with a pinch of salt. Drain well.
Mix together soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder and half of the cheese.
Line the bottom of a 9 x 11 casserole with the chicken, layer the well drained broccoli over chicken. Pour the soup mixture over the broccoli, cover with remaining cheese and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake 350 degrees for 25 to 30 min. until bubbling hot in center.

Note: 
Save the broth the chicken cooked in. Measure out the amount needed to cook your rice. Great flavor.
Ritz crackers may be substitute for bread crumbs.
