Chicken Divan



12 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, thawed and salted, 1/4 cup lemon juice.

Place chicken on a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and lemon juice. Cover with foil and cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

24 Spears of Broccoli
Steam broccoli until fork tender and set aside. ( I used asparagus, it was also just as good).

Sauce:
2-8 oz Packages Cream Cheese, at room temperature
2 cups milk
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Salt
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese, divided

Using a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and milk until completely smooth, add salt and garlic salt and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix well. Cook in a heavy pan or double boiler, stirring until thickened.

Arrange 2 spears of broccoli on each plate. Place a chicken breast on broccoli. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese over sauce. I sprinkled fresh Parmesan over the top, but you can do either. You also can half this recipe.

Makes 12 servings.

Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
