Chicken Broccoli Divan is a simple baked dinner made with chicken, broccoli, and a creamy sauce. I like making chicken broccoli divan when I want something filling that doesn’t take much planning. Once everything is layered in the dish, the oven does the rest of the work.

This version of chicken broccoli divan uses rotisserie chicken and a creamy cheese sauce that bakes right into the broccoli as compared to my chicken divan recipe uses a cream of chicken and mayonnaise based sauce with a breadcrumb topping. Both are easy casseroles, but the flavors and toppings are a little different.

Why You Will Love This Chicken Broccoli Divan

You will love this Chicken Broccoli Divan because it’s an easy dinner that uses simple ingredients. The chicken and broccoli cook together in a creamy sauce that makes the whole dish taste rich without being complicated.

It’s also a good recipe when you want a full meal in one pan. The broccoli cooks right in the casserole and the sauce keeps the chicken from drying out.

This chicken broccoli divan also works well with leftover chicken, which makes dinner even easier.

What You Will Need

To make this Chicken Broccoli Divan you’ll need cooked chicken, fresh broccoli, and a simple sauce. Cream of chicken soup forms the base of the sauce. Milk helps thin it out so it spreads easily over the casserole. A little Dijon mustard adds flavor without making the sauce strong. Cheddar cheese melts into the dish while it bakes. Instead of breadcrumbs, crushed buttery crackers are sprinkled on top for a light crisp layer.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¾ cup crushed buttery crackers
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

How to Make Chicken Broccoli Divan

Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.

If the broccoli is raw, steam or blanch it for a few minutes until it just begins to soften. Drain it well.

Spread the broccoli evenly in the baking dish. Add the cooked chicken over the broccoli.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it so everything is covered.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Scatter this mixture over the casserole.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and the topping is lightly golden.

Let the chicken broccoli divan rest for a few minutes before serving.
