Chicken Divan

Every college kitchen needs a good casserole collection in their recipe book!! It was definitely a comfort food that my mom made a lot growing up. It was nice to come home to the smell of this baking in the oven after a long day at school - now that I'm out on my own in the big scary world, it's nice to bring this little bit of home with me :)

What You'll Need:
8 chicken breasts
2 (10oz.) packages frozen broccoli spears or 2-3 lbs fresh broccoli
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 cups grated mild cheese
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
Salt to taste
Paprika


Let the Baking Begin!
Simmer the chicken in lightly salted water for 25 minutes or just until cooked through. Make sure there's no skin or bone if you don't make this recipe with skinless and boneless chicken to begin with. Cook broccoli and drain. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Over medium heat, melt butter in saucepan. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Add chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring until thickened. Reduce heat. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, heating gently until melted. Empty sour cream into medium bowl. Gradually add cheese sauce, stirring constantly. Add salt to taste. Throw in your broccoli and chicken (cut it up into bite size pieces) then pour into a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and paprika. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. It's gonna be really really cheesy, so maybe to balance the meal, grab some French bread! Enjoy!
