Ingredients
Chicken Divan:
- 1 Broccoli Heads
- 1/3 Cup Butter
- 1 Packet Chicken Gravy
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch Slurry
- 2 Cups Chicken Broth
- 1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
- 4 Tablespoons Dry White Wine

- Dash of Pepper
Bread Crumb Topping:
- 1 1/3 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
- 1 Stick Butter
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Steam broccoli for 3 minutes. Then toss in a ice bath. Once cold drain and let stand to thoroughly dry.
Step 2
Melt 1⁄3 cup butter, and slowly whisk in 1 packet of chicken gravy to make a roux. Add 1⁄2 tsp salt and pepper.
Step 3
Add 2 cups chicken broth and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, pour in cornstarch slurry until sauce thickens
and bubbles. Stir in 1⁄2 cup whipping cream and 4 tbsp white wine.
Step 4
Place broccoli and cooked shredded chicken in a baking dish ( 2-1/2 qt-2.3L). Pour roux all over.
Step 5
Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan. Add 1 1⁄3 cup Italian breadcrumbs. Mix with fork until all blended. Put on top of divan then bake. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. I wait until it’s bubbling in the middle before pulling out.
Quick Tips
To save time use rotisserie chicken.
We like serving chicken divan over white rice.
