Chicken Divan is a wonderful dish to serve witth rice for family and company.
What would you like for dinner? Eyes wide with anticipation, the answer was “Chicken Divan? “.
Then I would often tell her no because it thought it just took too much time. So one day, I timed myself making it.
I was wrong.
With a little coordination of pots on the stove, this dish is pretty doggone easy and not time-consuming to make!
In fact, it is one of those can’t fail kind of dishes. You don’t even have to measure salt.
But don’t leave out the cooking sherry because it is what enhances the flavors in to so-so to fabulous!
This casserole freezes beautifully, holds up well for reheating for lunch the next day. It cannot be beaten for a wonderful entrée for a family gathering or big crowd dinner.
It is part of my go to dishes for special occasions and large groups.

I am glad you enjoy preparing this dish for you family, but please reconsider calling it “Classic” Chicken Divan. If it was the classic recipe it would have a delicious homemade sauce made with a roux, broth, whipping cream and fresh grated Parmesan cheese. It is definitely not a quick and easy recipe, but one I would prefer to make.
Dear Karen, Thank you for your suggestion. However, it is still a classic maybe perhaps easier for many cooks out there. I made it from scratch for years when we lived in China for over 13 years. These days, this is the recipe I use. It is one I got from my moom’s dear friend who has since passed as my mom.
Sounds amazing, thanks for sharing:)
We just finished our leftovers of chicken divan. I always try to make more for a few lunches.asy to make too.
