Once the signature dish of a New York restaurant, the Divan Parisienne, Chicken Divan became a party favorite. Here, its richer elements are streamlined, without sacrificing taste.
Ingredient note
The "cooking sherry" sold in many supermarkets can be surprisingly high in sodium. We prefer dry sherry, sold with other fortified wines in your wine or liquor store.
I made this for my family of finicky sweet tooths.
My 13yo who hates cheese gave one look at it and turned her nose up.
But once she had a taste she filled her tummy.
I wondered about the boiled chicken myself. But once it\'s all put together, the chicken is tender and flavorful. It\'s quite saucy, so you need noodles or rice to go with it.
I will probably make it again because it was a different way to get the husband and kids to eat chicken and broccoli.
Overall, we liked it.

I had a bunch of fresh broccoli I wanted to use and this recipe was perfect.
Easy to make with simple ingredients even on a school night. Kids all ate it (9, 12, 15). Per the previous reviewer\'s recommendation, I served it with a starch (rather than rice, I used barley). There\'s enough sauce to go around and it\'s quite good.

The Chicken Divan that has been in my family for years is made with Chicken, broccoli, cream of chicken soup , cheddar cheese, and curry. I tried this one, I and we hated it.

I have a much easier and a much better tasting version.
I just take 2 lbs of cooked chopped chicken and steemed broccolli I don\'t even measure them usually. I just make enough and place it in a 9x13 baking dish and make a topping of 2 cans of cream of chicken soup (condensed) 1 cup mayo, a squeeze of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. Mix all and pour over the chicken and broccolli top with shredded cheddar cheese and top with 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. Bake at 360 until hot usually 45 minutes. It\'s so simple and great. My friends, family and my kids loved this much easier version so much better.
