If you’re looking for a Chicken Divan Casserole that’s slightly elevated from more traditional (think: canned soup) recipes, but JUST as comforting, packed with incredible flavor, and will genuinely leave everyone at the table WOW-ing.
0 Preheat the oven to 450°F.
1 Sprinkle the chicken breast with ½ of a teaspoon of salt and bake in your 9x13 casserole dish for 18 minutes (or until it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then chop into bite sized pieces.
2 Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
3 To the casserole dish, add the chopped chicken, broccoli, mushrooms, sour cream, and seasoning, and stir together.
4 Bake the Chicken Divan casserole uncovered for 25 minutes.
5 While the casserole is baking, toast the breadcrumbs. Melt the butter in a saute pan, then add the bread crumbs and toast (stirring occasionally) until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
6 Add the cheese and breadcrumbs to the top of the casserole, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
7 Serve, garnish with the optional parsley, and enjoy!
