Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.
Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the steamed broccoli florets on top of the chicken.
Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until well coated. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the Chicken Divan cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. Serve on its own or over cooked white rice for a hearty meal.
