The oven does all the work here.
Chicken Divan is as classic as casserole gets – many of us have been making it for decades, since it’s a crowd-pleasing complete meal in a baking dish that isn’t all that hard to prepare. Well, I have good news for you. This recipe makes it even easier. (And it’s still just as delicious!) With this ‘dump and bake’ version, there’s no sauce to prepare, no broccoli to blanch… you just stir everything together, pop it in the oven, and you end up with a classic, flavorful dinner that everyone (cook included) is happy about.
