Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 6-8 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 45 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen broccoli, chopped
6 cup shredded chicken, cooked
2 (10 3/4 -ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
2 tablespoon butter, melted
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the outer wrappers from the boxes of broccoli. Open one end of each box. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes, until thawed. Drain the broccoli and put into a 11X7 casserole dish that has been prepared with a non stick cooking spray. Top with shredded chicken.
In a medium bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper to taste, and wine. Whisk together to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and chicken. Mix well with a spatula.
Pat down evenly and smooth with a spatula. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle over the top.
Bake for about 30-45 minutes.
Cook’s Note: Try topping with cheddar or gruyere cheese.

I've been making this for 25 yrs. only I use blanched chicken strips and fresh, steamed broccoli. Huge hit in my house. My boys are always begging me to make it again and again. Oh and I use any cream soup, not necessarily mushroom.

Hello Rita F. Hammons, The amount of butter is included in the recipe, but it's two (2) tablespoons of butter; melted. Thanks for visiting our web site.

This recipe looks so scumpsious, but I notices that you didn't indicate how much butter to use in making the topping. Coul you let me know how much butter Ineed to melt in order to make the topping for this dish. I cannot wait to eat this.

This is absolutely delicious!
It does have a bit of a tangy flavor, but I think that is actually what makes it so yummy and a little different- a comfort food with a spin ![]()

I need to make a covered dish for a family reunion. I have no idea what to make. Please help me.
By Annette Spivey on September 07, 2012
Love It! I made a few adjustment though. I used chicken broth instead of white wine, 1 can of cream of chicken and one of cream of mushroom and I used french fried onions and shredded cheese on top instead of bread crumbs w/parmesan! My children's love it also! Great Recipe!

My chicken Divan was too creamy. I realized the the recipe said 6 cups of chicken, i used 2 cups. so it is very creamy. I would like an alternate recipe for the chicken divan i dont want to threw it out.

My family loved this recipe! It was sooo yummy!

Wow, I love Deen dishes,...but THIS one?? Not so much. I was hoping the negative reviews I saw on this site were just some bland taste bud types who don't know good food. But unfortunately, they were right about this recipe. I stuck to the recipe but used a rotisserie chicken. We each had one serving of this enormous dish and are throwing the rest out. I hate wasting food.

HORRIBLE!!! It's bitter and the smell is so overwhelming it makes it even harder to eat.
By Chelsea on April 26, 2012
