Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they are just tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cream of chicken soup, gluten-free mayonnaise, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli to the mixing bowl and gently stir until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the cheddar cheese layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the Chicken Divan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, gluten-free Chicken Divan!
