Dinner tonight is an oldie but a goodie. My mom made this when I was growing up and although I've made a couple of changes to it, it is basically the same delicious classic that my whole family gobbles up! When I need a satisfying meal to take to someone this is definitely one I turn to often. Add some warm, crusty bread, fruit and/or a green salad and this meal is sure to please.
Classic Chicken Divan Casserole
2 T. butter
1/4 c. flour
1 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. half and half
1/4 t. salt
2 c. cooked rice
2 c. cooked chicken, cut in chunks
1 16 oz. pkg. frozen broccoli florets, defrosted
1/4 c. parmesan cheese (the green can stuff works great here)
Melt butter in a small saucepan and whisk in flour. Add chicken broth and whisk over medium-high heat until mixture becomes thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in half and half and salt. Set aside. Layer cooked rice, chicken, and broccoli. Pour white sauce over the broccoli and top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
