1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Cooking instruction summary:

Bring a large pot of 6 cups of water or chicken broth to boil (The broth gives the chicken much more flavor. I used chicken bouillon powder or cubes and water for this broth)Remove any fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into 2 inch pieces. Place the chicken pieces in the boiling water and cover the pot. Allow to boil for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is all the way cooked through.Drain water from the chicken and shred it with 2 forks.Add in the white rice and chicken broth to the shredded chicken, Stir everything together and then place the chopped broccoli on top (gives the broccoli a steamed effect)Bring the mixture to a boil on high heat and then reduce the heat to medium low and cover with a lid.Everyone's stove is going to cook a little differently so watch yours. If the rice isn't cooking quick enough, maybe increase the heat a little and if the water is evaporating before the rice is cooked, add a little more chicken broth or water. Mine takes right around 10-12 minutes when I make this meal.When all the liquid has been absorbed in the rice and broccoli, turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, mayo, cream of chicken, and sour cream. Add in the seasoned salt or curry powder to your taste preference. If you don't like curry powder don't add it in, if you do add it in and even increase the amount if desired.If desired add in any other seasonings to taste preference - some onion or garlic powder, poultry seasoning, etc. (I like how it is seasoned without these additions)Top each bowl with a handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. We've also tried this with cheddar cheese and that is great too!

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
