This simple and easy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe, or chicken divan, is ready for the oven in minutes. I love it and make it often. It's a great make-ahead dish to serve guests.
Heat oven to 350°. Arrange cooked chicken in ungreased baking dish or glass casserole. (Use the long size, not the square, about 7 1/2" by 11 1/2").
Layer broccoli over chicken. Sprinkle 1/2 the cheese over. Stir together milk and soup and pour over all. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Top with a thin of the breadcrumbs that have been mixed with the softened butter.
Bake uncovered for 25 - 30 minutes.
Notes
If using fresh broccoli, steam it lightly until it is still underdone. If using frozen, use as is.
