Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli, and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water to chill. Place drained broccoli into a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour begins to turn from white, to a pale beige, about 3 minutes. Whisk in sherry, chicken broth, and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Pour half of the hot cream sauce over the broccoli and top with chicken slices. Stir Parmesan cheese into the remaining sauce, and pour over the chicken slices. Sprinkle top with extra cheese, if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until heated through, then broil for a few minutes until top has turned golden brown.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Mix egg and water together in a wide bowl. Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a separate bowl.
- Melt butter with sherry, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Dip chicken breasts into the beaten egg to coat. Press the dipped breasts into bread crumbs and gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Arrange onto the prepared sheet. Drizzle sherry-Dijon sauce over the breaded chicken breasts.
- Bake on a rack in the top third of the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN IN CREAMY DIJON-SHERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add mushrooms, onion and peppercorns to skillet and sauté until onion is tender, about 7 minutes. Add broth, cream, Sherry and mustard to skillet. Simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, scraping up browned bits, about 15 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan. Cook until chicken is just heated through, about 4 minutes longer.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your Stuffed Chicken Divan even more delicious. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a good quality white wine.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the chicken breasts until they are just cooked through, or they will become dry and tough.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sherry Dijon sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the chicken and will make the dish watery.
- Serve the dish immediately: Stuffed Chicken Divan is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will become dry and tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Stuffed Chicken Divan is a classic dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It's a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables, Stuffed Chicken Divan is a dish that you'll want to make again and again.
