DIVINE CHICKEN DIVAN

"It feeds a crowd so easily," Nancy says, "and my family is one big crowd!"

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
Kosher salt
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1- to 2-inch florets, tender stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons dry sherry (or chicken broth)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
1 bunch scallions, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere cheese (about 6 ounces)
1 cooked 3 1/2-pound chicken, meat removed and cut into chunks, skin and bones discarded (3 to 3 1/2 cups meat)
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and butter a shallow 3-quart casserole dish. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and almost tender (you still want it to have a little bite; it will cook more in the oven). Drain; cool under cold running water and pat very dry. Set aside.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the sage and let sizzle a minute, then add the flour. Cook the roux (or else it will taste like raw flour), whisking, for 2 to 3 minutes, without letting it brown. Pour in the sherry (or broth) and cook to reduce it away, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in 1 cup broth, the milk, heavy cream and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally to get out any lumps, until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the scallions and gruyere until the cheese is melted, then remove the sauce from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the sauce, broccoli, chicken and almonds until thoroughly coated. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave, then toss with the parmesan and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the casserole. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 35 minutes.

DIVINE CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS

This is one of my favorite dishes it is so creamy and just ultimately satisfying. I always pick up a fresh rotisserie chicken to make this meal. It saves time and the chicken is always super juicy and tender. For those of you that may not know what soft bread crumbs are... soft bread crumbs are made by taking fresh bread whether...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (10 oz) pkg frozen broccoli, chopped

1 can(s) (13.8 oz) ready made pizza crust
6 1/2 oz garlic and herb soft spreadable cheese
1/2 c walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 c grilled chicken breast, chopped
1/2 c dried apricots, chopped
2-3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar glaze
BALSAMIC VINEGAR GLAZE
1 c balsamic vinegar

  • 4. Grease cookie sheet with cooking spray and place circles 1 inch apart on sheet.
  • 5. Bake for 4 minutes.
  • 6. Let pizza crust circles slightly cool and then spread the garlic and herb cheese on top of each circle.
  • 7. Then sprinkle each with the toasted walnuts, pressing them into the cheese.
  • 8. Next top each with 1/4 cup of the chopped grilled chicken breast.
  • 9. Then sprinkle each with the chopped dried apricots.
  • 10. And then the grand finale! Drizzle each with the balsamic vinegar glaze.
  • 11. BALSAMIC VINEGAR GLAZE In a small saucepan bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook stirring until reduced to 3 to 4 tablespoons.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space so that it can brown properly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the chicken with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken Divine is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, Chicken Divine is a great choice.
