My husband and I have been making Chicken Divan for years. It was always one of his favorites. When we first started making it we used canned crescent rolls along with mayo, broccoli, cheese etc… Over the years I have changed the recipe around a bit. Our latest favorite version is this Super Easy Chicken Divan.

There are a couple variations to this recipe, and I will explain as I go along with the photos below. Here is a quick step by step guide on how to make a meal that will satisfy the entire family.

For the filling…

Super Easy Chicken Divan broccoli in bowl

Step one is to start the broccoli cooking. I don’t like to find crispy or under cooked broccoli in my chicken divan, so I put several cups worth of broccoli in a dish with a tiny bit of water and cook in the microwave for about 3 minutes.

Next I prepare the chicken. Now, I have used chicken tenders that cook up in the frying pan real quick. I have also used rotisserie chicken, but today I am using these pre grilled chicken strips that we found at Costco. This method is super easy. This recipe is also great for any leftover chicken you may have.

The broccoli is done. It is so pretty! 🙂

Cheese, cheese, cheese… glorious cheese! Okay, sometimes I used the pre-shredded cheese but I have to admit it is worth the effort to shred your own. I am using a medium cheddar. Use whatever you prefer.

Newman's Own Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauce for Super Easy Chicken Divan

Now that we have the chicken, broccoli and cheese in the bowl we need to mix in some sauce. I love this Newman’s Own Roasted Garlic Alfredo. I have also used white sauces by Ragu and Preggo. Pick your favorite! One other thing, after pouring the sauce in the bowl I fill the jar 1/2 to 2/3 full of milk, put the lid on and shake it up. Add the milk to the bowl and mix well. If you don’t add the milk the filling might be too thick.

After you have mixed the ingredients all together, add the mixture to a 13 x 9 baking dish that you have sprayed with non-stick spray. Next, it is time to make the topping.

Now for the biscuit topping…

I just grab the same bowl I mixed up the chicken filling in because, well, I hate to do dishes. It’s all going into the same place after all, right? Here I mixed together Bisquick, sour cream, milk, and Parmesan.

Pour the batter over the chicken and you have… cake batter! No, just kidding. It just looks a little like cake batter. It will be great, trust me. Put the chicken divan in the oven and let it bake.

Time to bake…

And when it is done… it still looks like cake! Chicken cake. Meat cake. Bwahaha. Oh, never mind. Go to next photo please.
