This is a recipe to serve your mother-in-law; we call it a 'bride basic'. It differs from some Chicken Divan recipes because of the curry. Men love this. Wonderful! The ingredients can be 'assembled' and frozen, then baked when you're ready. Serve with rice and a fruit salad, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your Chicken Divan the best flavor.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in Chicken Divan, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Sharp cheddar cheese or Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken Divan is best served immediately after it is made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chicken Divan is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and delicious meal.
