This Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Casserole is a family favorite - we also call it Chicken Divan at our house. It is so simple to make: add broccoli and chicken to a creamy sauce, top with cheese and serve over cooked rice or potatoes.
Our mom made this Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole recipe often for Sunday dinner and whenever I smell it cooking, it always takes me back to her kitchen on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. We would request it all the time.
There are some recipes on our blog that are tried-and-true favorites from our childhood and Mom’s easy chicken broccoli casserole (chicken divan) is one of them.
