Paula Deen's Chicken Divan image

This recipe is now my new very favorite recipe for chicken divan. The sauce is amazing and the almonds give it a nice crunch! It is so easy to prepare, too, but people will think it took you all day! This is from Paula Deen's magazine and it's one of her "Golden Ring" recipes.
