LC Chicken Divan

Well it's that time of year again. Time to start losing weight and getting serious about summer. So back on the Low Carb band wagon I go. I love eating low carb actually. It's when I get to cook the most and experiment in the kitchen. It's the only way I really lose weight so let the fun begin! :)

CHICKEN DIVAN
3-4 cups diced cooked chicken
20ounces frozen broccoli florets
4 ounce can mushrooms, drained
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 ounces fresh mushrooms, minced
1 stalk celery, minced
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon curry powderd

Season chicken breasts. Sear in olive oil and then bake till done.

Cook the broccoli according to package directions for 7-8 minutes; drain.
In a large non-stick skillet, sauté the fresh mushrooms, celery and onion in the butter until soft and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broth; bring to a boil and reduce by half. Gradually whisk in the mayonnaise until well blended. Stir in the curry powder.

In a greased 9x13" glass baking dish, mix the chicken, broccoli and canned mushrooms. Season to taste. Mix in the cheese.

Pour in the mushroom sauce and mix well. Cover with foil and bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until bubbly and a little browned on top.

Yum! This is really good, but the sauce is really time consuming. The curry really makes it!
