This Broccoli Chicken Divan is a delicious chicken casserole with broccoli and a creamy sauce. I love the buttery bread crumb topping. There are never any leftovers when I make this, but if you don’t get through the whole casserole, it tastes delicious the next day when reheated. Simply place the leftovers in the microwave, or reheat them in the oven.
To make this delicious casserole, start by placing broccoli in a large pot of boiling water and blanch until tender crisp. Drain and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, milk, condensed soup, sour cream, and seasonings. Stir in the broccoli and chicken and transfer to a casserole dish. Mix melted butter and bread crumbs in a small bowl. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese and bread crumb topping. Bake until the bread crumbs are lightly browned, and the mixture is bubbly and hot and serve with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
To make my Broccoli Chicken Divan, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Place 1 ½ pounds of broccoli in a large pot of boiling water. Cook 2-3 minutes until just tender crisp. Drain well in a colander.
Combine 1 cup of Cheddar cheese in a medium bowl with ½ a cup of milk, ⅔ cup of sour cream, a 10 ½-ounce can of condensed soup, ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of seasoning salt.
Stir the cooked broccoli and chicken into the sauce. Spread in a 3-quart casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese.
Combine 3 tablespoons of Panko bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Sprinkle the topping over the chicken mixture.
Bake in the oven for about 18-20 minutes until the creamy sauce is bubbling and the topping is golden and crunchy.
Serve warm with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Super easy peasy. I whipped this up for a small dinner party, and my friends loved it. The creamy sauce with chicken is so comforting, and that bread crumb topping is heavenly. I even packed some for lunch the next day, and it was just as good.
