What would you like for dinner? Eyes wide with anticipation, “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. 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.
