There are probably about 100,000 versions or more of Chicken Divan. This is my family's version, courtesy of my Aunt Louise who has lived all her life in East Tennessee and is one of the best "cookin from scratch" cooks I know.
2 pkgs (10 oz) frozen broccoli, thawed & well-drained
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp salt
dash pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded (sharp) cheddar cheese
3 whole chicken breasts, cooked & cubed
paprika
Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a quart baking dish. Parbroil (or just steam) broccoli 1 minute; drain. Melt butter over low heat in saucepan. Stir in flour and seasonings. Cook until smooth, stirring constantly (it may just form a lump, which is ok!). Remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil & stir one minute.
Add cheese; stir until melted.
Place broccoli in buttered (or sprayed w/ Pam) dish; layer chicken pieces on broccoli - pour cheese sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake in preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Oooooh, I've got everything I need to make this except the cheese. My son is on his way to town so, though he doesn't know it yet, he'll be picking up the cheese. Lord willing, I want to make this tomorrow for our dinner!!!
Thank Aunt Louise for me! :)
Sounds yummy! I will have to try this thanks Conny! Hope you are doing well.
