I did a search for a "Recipes" thread and didnt find one. So for me, i am tired of searching the internet for new recipes to try for football season, holidays, every day recipes. Lets make a thread of your favorite recipes that are a must try, even if it is something you found "surfing" the internet, came across, and loved it. Maybe you switched the recipe up a bit to call it "your own". Ill start things off.

My Wife grew up this dish, has been a hit with a lot of our friends.

Chicken Divan

• 1 10oz package of broccoli tips (cooked)
• 1 tsp of olive oil
• 1 can of cream of chicken soup
• 1 1/2 cup of chicken breasts (I like to use chicken strips)
• 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
• 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (I like to Vermont cheddar and grate myself)
• 1/4 cup breaded bread crumbs ( I use the pepredge farm pepperidge farm herb seasoned stuffing)

Directions:

** in a saute pan, heat up 1 tsp of olive oil and cook the chicken, when chicken is cooked, dice into cubes. Combine cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, cheddar cheese, broccoli, and chicken into a bowl and mix together, grease a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray, pour the mixture into the casserole dish and top with breadcrumbs. Bake 350 for 25-30 minutes.

I made this tonight. I add curry to the sauce. The kids call it yellow sauce so when I put chicken divan on the menu board tonight they thought they were getting something new. A couple were disappointed. Most love it.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of this thread. There is the cooking thread, but to have a list of mainly recipes wouldn't be too bad.
