awesome, just like my grandma made. I used white wine instead of sherry and it was still delish! Also, very easy! Bake it on top of rice, steamed the brocolli. Loved it!

This is not a hard dish so I don't quite understand that it's "worth the effort". Very tasty and very easy. Steam the broccoli while sauteing the chicken. Then, cut up the broccoli, cut up the chicken and arrange in a cassarole dish. Make the sauce, pour it over the dish and heat through for 20 minutes... and Voila!

My husband is weird about chicken and is always worried it's undercooked so I pan seared it & sliced it before hand. One thing that I reccomend is ignoring the step about setting the cooked broccoli aside until later because it got a bit dry sitting there. Next time I'll wait until the sauce is almost done before putting the broccoli into the pot. This way I can add it into the baking pan with the sauce and chicken. Let this dish sit about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven and the sauce will thicken perfectly!

Fantastic served over white rice! I used half & half (stopped buying heavy cream about 10 lbs ago haha) and added a dash of garlic powder. My sauce got too thick very quickly, I think I had the heat too high, I turned it down added a bit more broth and it was fine. I was in a hurry and didn't bake the dish. I just layered steaming hot rice, cold chicken (leftover rotisserie), the hot sauce, fully steamed fresh broccoli and more sauce in individual bowls and covered them for a min to let the temp even out before serving. Don't skip the sherry, thats what makes this SOO GOOD!

Just made this. It tastes a little bland so next time, I'll definitely season the chicken and add a bit of garlic to the sauce. Also, there really is no point in boiling the broccoli beforehand. I used frozen broccoli florettes and they cooked just fine in the allotted time frame. If you boil the broccoli, you are cooking OUT all the benefits of the vegetable. Look at the lovely green water you are throwing away. That is were all the nutrients just went-the trash. Anyhow, I served with rice. Yummo with seasonings!

Good starting point, but this just needs improvement to me. The sauce was way too thin for me, but maybe I mismeasured the broth? I would do less next time. Using a flavorful broth is also important. I added a couple dashes of nutmeg, and used white pepper and swiss cheese in the sauce for flavor. Much better.

So good! I might double the sauce next time. Boyfriend is used to the mom's version with lots of canned cheese sauce. I don't eat cheese in a can (doesn't seem right). I was so happy to find a a recipe that can be made from scratch. Delicious!

i love chicken and i love broccoli. so this was right up my ally. Only thing i would change is how i cooked my broccoli. i add just salt to my water so i found the dish a little lacking on flavor, but that is a mtter of preference. next time i will feel free with my seasoning cabinet.

This was wonderful! I melted butter and mixed in italian bread crumbs then sprinkled on top, put some cheddar cheese on top too when there was about 5 min. of cooking time left. Just my families preference. The best chicken divan ever!!!

We had this last night and it was pretty good. The sauce seemed a little thick and it was a little bland, but for the most part we really liked it, especially the fact that the sauce wasn't from a can. Every other recipe on this site for chicken divan uses cream-of-something. We will be making this one again with a few minor adjustments (maybe another 1/3 c. broth and some garlic).

I followed this recipe exactly. I think that it's too small to require a 9 x 13 pan. Also, I'm not sure that it's really 4 servings. That aside, I didn't care for it - it might just be that I don't like Chicken Divan, I've never had it before. The boyfriend loved it, so I'm compromising with four stars =)

Without garlic, this recipe is quite bland. However, with garlic added, this is most certainly a five star recipe. The sauce is so smooth and wonderful! I add two or three cloves of garlic into my sauce. I saute my chicken in olive oil first, then add it to the mix. Also, I layer a box-worth of linguini on top of the broccoli, so you end up with an entire meal in one pot!

This was a huge hit. I kept true to the recipe and just added a topping for a little texture. To lower the fat content in the sauce I used fat-free 1/2 &1/2. For a little more flavor I sauteed a slice of onion (minced) and a clove of garlic (minced) in a little olive oil spray, and substituted 1/2t of season salt for the regular salt. For the topping I mixed together: 3T seasoned breadcrumbs, 2T french fried onions (crushed fine in a paper towel to soak up oil), 1T parmesan cheese and 1T bacon bits. Sprinkled it on top just before broiling phase and sprayed it with a little Parkay spray to help brown everything. Yummy!

Five stars although of course I tweak recipes. I steam my broccoli until bright green & still al dente', I season chicken and bake on low oven temp for about an hour, cool, then pull apart in chunks. To save time, I buy one of those pre-jarred alfredo or parm cheese sauces & add to it a sm can of evap milk, extra parm & tbsp of flour wisked together prior to adding to other store bought sauce. I never have sherry so I add a splash of Worcestershire with a bit of grated nutmeg. I always use extra parm in my sauce as well, but that's a personal pref. I also add some garlic (fresh or powder) as it kicks it up a notch. Great basic recipe you can play around with! Oh, make sure Broccoli isn't real wet when assembling or sauce will be runny. Thanks for the post. Update: I prefer doing this recipe making the sauce, it's somewhat better than using the jarred sauce. Am considering getting some sherry to see what the taste difference might be in the end results.

The sauce in this recipe is to die for. It sounds rich but it is actually quite light tasting. The sherry really adds a wonderful flavor. I think this would be great served over rice or pasta, but it was excellent on its own. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good alternative to canned(MSG) soup style divan. On the bottom of my casserole dish, I put some minute white rice and (uncooked) and chicken broth to cook it.Then layered according to the recipe.I sauted my chicken in butter and garlic. I added some red pepper to the sauce. I also used peas instead of broccoli(didn't have any) and half and half instead of heavy cream. I put shredded Mexican style cheese blend on top. It was delicious!!Will make again.

This is basically the same recipe I have used for 15+ years. I use dry white wine instead of sherry. Brown the breasts in a little oil first. Dont parboil the broccoli, it cooks in the oven.. Sprinkle more cheese on top to brown. The real dish, no canned soup slop. Serve with glazed carrots, green salad and garlic bread. Yum.

This is wonderful. Followed the recipe as is but substituted half and half for heavy cream. So much better than any "add a can of soup" type casserole. Tastes light and fresh and lovely.
