MAKE-AHEAD CHICKEN DIVAN CASSEROLE



Make-Ahead Chicken Divan Casserole image

My entire family loves this dish. The word "casserole" is in the name since traditional chicken divan is made separate from the rice and served alongside it. This can be prepared a day or two in advance and baked before serving. Simplify the process by using leftover cooked rice and a store-bought cooked chicken.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups grated Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
½ cup sour cream
½ cup milk
¼ cup mayonnaise
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups cooked rice, or more to taste
5 cups shredded cooked chicken, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a bowl and set aside.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; saute until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Whisk condensed soup, sour cream, milk, and mayonnaise together in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved Cheddar-Parmesan mixture and season with salt and pepper. Add the sauteed vegetables and stir to combine the sauce.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Add cooked rice as the bottom layer. Add cooked broccoli as the next layer, and then layer on the cooked chicken. Cover with remaining sauce. Pat down evenly and smooth with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar-Parmesan mixture, plus extra Parmesan if desired, and continue to bake until browned, about 15 minutes more.
