CHICKEN DIVAN FROM SCRATCH
This is my daughter's favorite comfort food. We started out making this recipe with a canned cream soup and transitioned over the years to a from-scratch cream sauce. The result is a to-die-for broccoli-chicken casserole, which is soooo good as leftovers! Serve with rice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- 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, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and pour into the prepared dish.
- Warm oil in a large frying pan. Add chicken; sprinkle with steak seasoning. Saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour over broccoli in the casserole dish.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour to make a thick paste, then pour in chicken broth. Continue stirring to dissolve the paste. Pour in heavy cream and sherry. Crumble in bouillon cube. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to ensure no lumps form.
- Add 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese to the cream sauce; stir until completely melted. Pour cream sauce over the chicken and broccoli in the casserole dish.
- Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter and pour over bread cubes. Toss until all bread cubes are coated with butter. Arrange bread cubes evenly on top of the casserole. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top. Cover casserole tightly with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese and bread are browned, about 10 minutes more.
