Chicken Broccoli Casserole (aka Chicken Divan)


Easy, Delicious Comfort Food

Home Recipes Mains Chicken Broccoli Yummm!

Chicken Broccoli Yummm!

Mains, Recipes |

I have made this casserole so many times.

Jeff and I were first served a version of it many years ago at dinner with our long-time friends, Joe and Cindy.

Joe’s version, using bone-in thighs, accompanied by steamed broccoli and twice-baked potatoes, was a lot more elegant than my family-style casserole and rice.

So, you always have the option to glam it up for a dinner party if you like!

The original recipe is “Chicken Divan” from The Buffalo Bill Historical Center’s cookbook, The Great Entertainer.

I usually  prefer to cook from scratch, but the condensed cream of chicken soup called for in the recipe adds so much flavor.

Aside from leaving the curry power on the side, I didn’t want to mess with this recipe — it’s tasty as is!

Enjoy! – The Recipe Wench

This chicken broccoli casserole make a beautiful presentation. Great for potlucks. It can easily be prepared ahead of time and thrown in the oven at the last minute. Makes for great leftovers too!

Ingredients

  • 2 Cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 Cup sour cream
  • 1 Cup mayo
  • 1 Cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Teaspoon curry powder (or you can leave out and allow everyone to sprinkle on their plates as desired)
  • 2 10 ounce baby broccoli florets (if frozen, thaw and drain. If using fresh, cook first.)
  • 3 chicken breasts (cooked and cut into bite-sized chunks)
  • Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
  • butter
  • paprika

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350ºF
Step 2
In medium bowl, mix soup, sour cream, mayo, cheddar, lemon juice
Step 3
Put broccoli in bottom of casserole dish. Add cooked chicken on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan, salt and pepper.
Step 4
Add sauce mixture. Dot with butter. Sprinkle more Parmesan and paprika.
Step 5

We like to serve this over white or brown rice. This is great as leftovers too!
