Chicken Broccoli Divan (two servings)

Ingredients

Scroll down to the chicken broccoli divan recipe card for the amounts of each ingredient, but here's a quick description of what's in this recipe.

• Cream of chicken soup: This soup is such a quintessential American comfort flavor. Use your favorite canned variety or make your own. Either works well.
• Plain Greek yogurt: It makes this divan very creamy and adds a nice tangy flavor that pairs well with the cream of chicken soup.
• Curry powder: Some yellow curry powder adds lots of easy flavor to this dish. It pairs deliciously with the cream of chicken soup and Greek yogurt.
• Chicken breasts: Use raw chicken. You can use precooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken, or whatever you have. If using precooked chicken, just cook until sauce is warm and bubbling. It may take a bit less time to bake.
• Broccoli: This recipe calls for fresh broccoli, I think thawed frozen broccoli would work too. Frozen broccoli may leave your chicken broccoli divan with Greek yogurt too drippy.
• Cheddar cheese

Spray casserole dish with cooking spray, to coat.

Storage/Reheating Tips

Store any leftover chicken broccoli divan in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week. To reheat, microwave, covered until warmed through. You can add a dash of water to the sauce, and mix it up after reheating for a creamier texture.

The chicken broccoli with sauce is probably ok to freeze for later. Just freeze in an airtight container, and I'd recommend freezing in individual servings so you don't have to eat multiple servings at once. Freeze separately from rice or other sides.

Substitutions/Tips

• This is an easy recipe to double or triple for leftovers or a crowd. Just adjust ingredients slightly, if necessary.
• DIY Cream of Chicken soup by adding 2 teaspoon butter, ⅛ c chicken broth* and ⅛ c milk to a small pot over medium-low heat. Whisk in 1 T flour, Whisk until smooth. *I recommend using bouillon paste to make broth. 
• Chop up broccoli florets and stalks, remove outer layers of stalks to reduce food waste.
• You can use frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh broccoli, but just thaw before mixing, or it'll be too watery.
