Categories     Chicken     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (10 oz) pkgs. frozen broccoli, cooked
2 cup cooked chicken, cubed
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 oz. grated cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tbls. melted butter

Tips for a Perfect Chicken Divan:

  • Use a flavorful cheese blend. A combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and Cheddar provides a rich and complex flavor.
  • Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly before adding them to the casserole. This ensures that they are cooked evenly and remain juicy.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful. A good-quality white wine and a touch of Dijon mustard add depth of flavor.
  • Top the casserole with a generous amount of cheese before baking. This creates a golden-brown crust and adds extra flavor.
