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 smile

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.

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.
