In the early part of the 20th century, chicken divan was the signature dish of the elegant Divan Parisien in New York’s Chatham Hotel. Years later, the Campbell Soup Company redeveloped the recipe for the back of the can of condensed cream of chicken soup. This version skips the can, which reduces the sodium.

Great recipe. Made as instructed. This recipe is much better than the versions I’ve previously made with Campbell’s soup. Love the addition of the fresh mushrooms which weren’t in other variations that I’ve had. My husband adds his seal of approval and insists that I put this in our regular rotation.

I didn’t have mushrooms or broccoli in hand, so I thought being creative was key! I’m trying it with fresh green beans and carrots.
I used cream of broccoli and mushroom instead of the milk.
I also added some bow tied pasta in it. (Keeping the recipe as a base!) as I had the other ingredients..
From what I’ve tried before putting in the oven it was delicious!
I love your recipes because I can be creative with things I have on had!
Will be posting after it’s been baked and served for dinner!
Thank you!!

This was rather simple to make, yet the flavor was outstanding! I substituted foraged morels for the mushrooms and leftover brie cheese for the cheddar. I'm not sure what difference that made, but this was such a tasteful meal. I didn't steam the broccoli at all - it was fresh from the garden and with the heat from stirring into the sauce and the oven cooking, it was done enough. I can't say enough about this recipe! The only thing I might change - the 9x13 pan seemed larger than needed.

Excellent recipe! This one is a great "all in one" dish with protein & veggies together all in one delicious casserole. It's a comfort classic, but updated to be on the "lighter" side. The only change I made was to stir in raw broccoli in lieu of steamed (I highly recommend you do this for nice tender-crisp veggies). I subbed out 2% milk for 1% (no issues noted). The end result was fantastic and I will be making this one over and over again (esp in the winter when veggies are hard to come by and you really want comfort classics). Enjoy!
