Some old school chicken love

[Tim Campbell]

Yep. Thats right. Chicken Divan. I seriously think I haven't had this since 70s dinner parties.

Simple to make. Full disclosure: This was prepped inside and baked on the Genesis.

Poached 3 chicken breasts. Shredded and laid down in a greased baking dish.

Covered in several cups of broccoli.


And this is where it stops being entirely healthy. A lot of sauce.



Poured atop everything.


Topped with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Went a bit heavy with the paprika.


15 minutes, covered, at 350°. Then uncovered for another 20 minutes.



I love how the gasser keeps its temps. This was really, really good. Sent me immediately back in time. My finished pics don't do it justice.

I love that dish! We went to Emerald Isle, NC every summer in from the mid 80's to mid 90's. Every year, a frozen batch of that made the trip with us and was one of our dinners. Ah, memories...

You just motivated me. I'm going to make a batch - maybe a double - my kids would love this for school lunches.

It's super simple, Jim.

Looks really great Tim! Straight bechamel or did you use cheese (Making it a Mornay).

I would " love " to have some!

Definitely Mornay. 2C cheddar in that sauce.

I’ve got a brace of birds ready to spin for dinner Saturday, I think this will be a great way to make a quick Monday dinner for the two of us. I’ll cut your amount by 3/4 (maybe)

Ooh that looks wonderful! I agree with JimK, it would be extra special for school/work lunches.

This seems like the perfect dish to try out my recent purchase from Amazon Haul.
I figured this shredder would be a "one use then into the Goodwill box" item, but for $1.07 I had to try it.
If it does okay and doesn't take up much room, I might keep it around for white chili and Tim's Chicken Divan.

Yeah, I really should've halved this recipe. 3 of us put a dent in it but we still have a lot of leftovers.

I should mention that this is not my recipe. It's a slight variation on one from Nancy Fuller at Foodnetwork.com

Tim, if you varied from original, I think that validates it being your own!
