My kids both go crazy for this one. I think it's because of the Tater Tots. LOL

This one is DD's absolute favorite! She asks for it if we don't have it within a 10 to 14 day period.
Chicken Divan
20 oz frozen broccoli (I use fresh & just nuke it for ~5 min)
4 c chicken, cooked & sliced
2 cans cream of chicken soup (can substitute 1 cream of celery)
1 c mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
½ c sharp cheese, shredded
1 Tbl butter, melted*
½ c bread crumbs*
½ c parmesan*
Defrost & drain broccoli; arrange in greased 13x9 pan. Place chicken on top. Combine soup, mayo & lemon juice. Pour over chicken. Layer cheese over all, then combine crumbs & butter; sprinkle over all. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 min.
*I don't do it this way. I sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top, then sprinkle the Parmesan over the crumbs & spray the top with olive oil. (I have a Misto & it uses far less oil.) It still gets crunchy on top.
