Irene's Chicken Divan image

Mom brought this recipe home with her many years ago after a visit with her sister-in-law, my Aunt Irene. The amounts listed are purely suggestions, so don't be afraid to experiment. Isn't that how you make the best casseroles ever? =^..^=

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

some boned cooked chicken
6 oz (1/2 pkg.) egg noodles
10 oz pkg. frozen broccoli pieces
large can(s) condensed cream of mushroom (or cream of chicken) soup
1/2 can(s) of milk or water
some shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mist a 13 x 9" baking dish with cooking spray. Set a large pan of water on the stove to boil.
  • 2. Tear chicken into smaller pieces and put them in the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
  • 3. When the water in the pan begins to boil, add 1/2 package of egg noodles AND the frozen broccoli. Cook 10 minutes or so, until they are done to your taste.
  • 4. Drain the noodles and broccoli, then return them to the pan. Add the large can of soup & ~1/2 can of water. Stir it all together well.
  • 5. Pour the soup & noodle mixture over the chicken.
  • 6. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. I start with about 2 cups, but I usually add more, if I have it.
  • 7. Bake the casserole at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes or so, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
  • 8. NOTE: When I find chicken breasts on sale, I usually buy LOTS. Then I cook & freeze some of them for quick meals, such as this one, or the Chicken Enchiladas I still need to add to this site. =^..^=
