Ingredients

2 (10-ounce) packages frozen broccoli, chopped
6 cups shredded chicken, cooked
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the outer wrappers from the boxes of broccoli. Open 1 end of each box. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes, until thawed. Drain the broccoli and put into a casserole dish. Add the shredded chicken.

In a medium bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper, to taste, and wine. Whisk together to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and chicken. Mix well with a spatula.

Place the mixture into an 11 by 7-inch casserole dish or 2 (9-inch) square disposable aluminum foil pans that have been sprayed with vegetable oil cooking spray. Pat down evenly and smooth with a spatula. Combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes.

Cook's Note: Try topping with Cheddar or Gruyere cheese.

Underwhelmed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

We were expecting delicious. I made the recipe exactly as stated and we all felt it was a bland and boring. I'd probably make... this again in a pinch, but it was a pretty forgettable meal. Read more

WONDERFUL! WILL BE ADDED TO MY FAVORITES LIST!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have not made Chicken Divan in a long time and came across Paul's recipe on the Food Network website. First thought... was...maybe too rich with all the mayo and sour cream. I used Healthy Choice Mushroom soup and low fat mayo and sour cream and it was incredible! My husband, daughter, son & a house guest loved it!!!Read more

A Family Favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy to make and my entire family ate it up. We normally have a hard time getting rid of leftovers, but not... this time. The casserole really heats up well. The only changes I made were using chicken stock instead of wine and I increased the ingredients of the topping, as we like a little more of that. I served it with saffron rice. I did not think this was too salty at all. Read more
