From Grandma Smith. From this recipe, I make one large casserole and one 8-inch round casserole. I think the recipe could be halved easily, but when making for myself, I freeze one casserole for later use. Freezes well.

AMY'S CHICKEN DIVAN CASSEROLE



Amy's Chicken Divan Casserole image

I love putting chicken divan together in one, simple and delicious casserole. The flavors are mildly distinct, yet maintain a fresh, light flavor. My mother always made this from scratch, and there's no other way to get that rich, full flavor. I make this more fiber/calorie-friendly by substituting white whole-wheat flour, fat-free and low sodium chicken broth, and fat-free half-and-half. Feel free to adjust the lemon juice, sherry or parmesan cheese to your liking. Serve with caesar or tossed salad. Enjoy!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 lb fresh broccoli, cut into small spears
2 cups brown rice
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 1/4 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup cream
1/4 cup sherry wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Place 4 cups water and the 2 cups rice in a large pan. (I add 2T. olive oil, 1 t. salt and ½ t. pepper for a more flavorful rice.) On high heat, cover the rice and allow it to come to a boil. Once it boils, stir, reduce heat to low, cover tightly with lid and let cook for 35-40 minutes, undisturbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • While rice is cooking, place chicken on a baking pan. Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • While chicken and rice are cooking, begin to boil the water for the broccoli. Add the broccoli (and 1 t. salt), allowing it to cook just until the color is bright green, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the broccoli and immediately place in a large bowl of cold water to completely stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan on medium-high heat, melt the butter. Using a whisk, add the flour and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth and whisk together until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the cream, ¼ cup of the parmesan cheese, sherry, lemon juice, and the seasonings. Mix together. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
  • Grease a 10x13 casserole pan. Assemble the casserole: rice on bottom, followed by a layer of broccoli, pouring half of the cream sauce over the broccoli. Add the sliced chicken, followed by the remaining cream sauce poured over the top. Sprinkle casserole with the bread crumbs and the reserved ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner and more tender casserole.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables provide a vibrant flavor and texture to the casserole. Use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, celery, and peas.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make a Creamy Sauce: The creamy sauce is a key component of this casserole. Use a combination of butter, flour, milk, and chicken broth to create a smooth and flavorful sauce.
  • Add Some Cheese: Cheese adds a delicious richness and creaminess to the casserole. Use a melty cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Top with Crunchy Croutons: Crunchy croutons add a nice texture and flavor contrast to the casserole. You can use store-bought or homemade croutons.

Conclusion:

Grandma Amy's Chicken Casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its tender chicken, creamy sauce, and cheesy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit at your next family gathering or potluck. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and get ready to indulge in this delicious and satisfying casserole!
