Irenes Chicken Divan Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place the broccoli in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
• Place the cooked broccoli in a 9 inch pie plate. Top with the chicken. In a bowl, mix the soup and milk, and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Mix the melted butter with the bread crumbs, and sprinkle over the cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly brown.

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. =^..^=

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, water, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl. Stir in the chicken; allow chicken to marinate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon, and transfer to the skillet; reserve the remaining marinade. Cook and stir the chicken until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms; cook and stir until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add tomato and reserved marinade, then sprinkle cheese on top. Do not stir. Cover and simmer on low heat until cheese is melted and chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a greased shallow 2-1/2-qt. baking dish, combine the chicken, salt and pepper. Top with broccoli. In a large bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, milk and 1-1/2 cups cheese; pour over broccoli. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. , Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• If working with fresh broccoli, steam the florets for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and put broccoli into a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl, stir well, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the soup, cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, wine, lemon juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Add half the soup mixture to the broccoli and chicken and stir well.
• Lay the crêpes on a cutting board. Divide the chicken filling among the 10 crêpes, then roll them up. Lightly coat two 9 x 13-inch casserole dishes with cooking spray. Divide the crêpes between the two casserole dishes, placing the crêpes seem side down. Spread the remaining soup mixture over the crêpes. Combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, and butter in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the tops of the crêpes. Bake until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Add the milk and whisk together. Add the salt, curry powder, and butter; whisk until smooth.
• Lightly grease a medium skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Working quickly, tilt the pan in all directions to coat the entire bottom surface of the pan with the batter. Let the crêpe cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the crêpe and cook the second side until lightly browned, about 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
