Chicken Divan is a delicious casserole dish that is perfect for dinner. Broccoli, chicken and cheese combination is a meal your family will ask for over and over again. Make it with a rotisserie chicken to cut even more time off of the recipe .
I love having a meal that feels like it is made with love. Chicken Divan is that meal and is so comforting and delicious. Now that the weather is turning cold and wet it means that we are indoors way more often than we would like. But that also means I have more time in the kitchen which means more time for dinner.
My second daughter has been so busy with volleyball and doesn’t get home from school until around 6:30 after practice. She comes home usually starving because she’s been working out hard in the gym. I know it’s important to get her a nice, homecooked meal and I know that she appreciates it when she gets home. You think teenage boys can eat? Girls can too. Especially athletes. But that is great, we have to feed those bodies and muscles.
Chicken Divan is one of our favorite meals. There are more steps to it than a quick meal, but it is worth it. Plus, if you are really in a hurry, just use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to cut the time on this recipe. Serve over a bed of rice or just on it’s own.
Enjoy and save the recipe for later.
