Chicken Divan Recipe! What's for Dinner? Noreen's Kitchen

Greetings! It is the return of the Chicken Divan! Two or three years ago I posted a video recipe of this dish, chicken divan. I had to remove it for copyrighted music issues, but had posted the recipe on my website.
Since we hadn't had this since I last made the other video and since my family had been asking we thought it was the perfect opportunity to make another video so that we could share this amazing and decadent casserole with you!
Chicken divan has it's roots in the 1950's when men wore suits and hats and ladies wore dresses and hats and gloves to dine out. So much different from today's hurried lifestyle. This casserole harkens back to a time when life was taken just a bit slower and may have been savored a little bit longer.
I got this recipe from a friend of mine. She always promised to give it to me and never did. It was one one those things that she was very prideful of. She made this casserole for me when both of my children were born and I was welcomed home those evenings by this piping hot and satisfying casserole filled with chicken, broccoli and the most amazing rich sauce you have ever tasted.
The original recipe made so very long ago probably started with a very complicated sauce involving eggs, milk, a roux etc, however this casserole is made easy by the addition of cream of chicken soup. Not something you see me use many times, however there really is no substitute. If you can find the Pacific brand condensed cream of chicken soup that is the one you should choose. It is organic. I have shown the old standby, Cambells, and because this is a "sometimes food" you should not feel guilty about using that.
This casserole will easily portion out for 12 servings. I usually only serve this with a green salad and a crusty loaf of bread. It is rich and delicious and you won't find that you need any additional side dishes to go along.
I hope you give this classic, throwback casserole a try and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!
