We made Chicken Divan last night that turned out great (except the broccoli needed to be cooked a little longer before baking). I tried a recipe I had used before, but modified it a little. Here’s the recipe for a wonderful Chicken Divan:

Ingredients:

• 6 cups cooked chicken (chopped into slightly larger than bite sized pieces)


• 20 oz. (around 5-6 cups) cooked broccoli (chopped and drained well)


• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese


• 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup


• 1 cup sour cream


• 1 cup mayonnaise


• 1/2 cup dry white wine (chardonnay works best)


• 1 tablespoon lemon juice


• 1/2 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (can use seasoned salt or curry powder instead)


• 1 teaspoon chili powder


• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder


• Salt & pepper to taste


• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs


• 2 tablespoons butter


• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup powdered works as well)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees


2. Grease 13x9” casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. (you’ll need it to be at least 1 1/2” - 2” deep)


3. Add broccoli to casserole dish and cover with chicken. (pat down until even)


4. Mix soup, sour cream, mayo, wine, lemon juice, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and seasonings in medium bowl.


5. Pour cream sauce over chicken and broccoli in casserole dish. (spread evenly)


6. Sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese over sauce in casserole dish.


7. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, and butter in small bowl and sprinkle over top.


8. Bake for 30-40 minutes until bread crumbs are browned. (If it browns too quickly you can cover with foil for 20 minutes and uncover for remaining)
