Broccoli Chicken Divan Casserole is a classic American comfort dish that hails from the mid-20th century. Its origins can be traced to the Divan Parisien Restaurant in New York’s Chatham Hotel, where it became known for its creamy, cheesy goodness. This casserole is perfect for anyone looking to prepare a hearty meal that brings the family together. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to involve nutritious broccoli and succulent chicken into a single dish. The creamy sauce binds everything together, making each bite a pure delight.
This casserole pairs wonderfully with a light side salad dressed in a simple vinaigrette to cut through the richness. A serving of crusty French bread or dinner rolls works perfectly to soak up the delicious sauce. For beverages, an unoaked Chardonnay or even a glass of sparkling water with a twist of lemon complements the dish beautifully.
