This is a dish that was my youngest grandson's favorite... he was killed in a motorcycle dirt track race when he was 10 years old in 2007... So in his memory his mother makes it for the family on his "going to heaven birthday" (May 5th) and his earthly birthday (Aug 30th).. Course he called it "Chicken in a Van" cause his mom made it to take to the races and he LOVED IT!!! So thank you for sharing....

I REALLY feel when anyone makes THIS casserole, it should be doubled. Placed in TWO separate pans. ONE to share, one to eat that night, OR, one to freeze! This recipe is so very delicious, everyone will be wanting more within 7 - 14 days. Always share a dish like this. (There's so many people who are very depressed right now, ALL due to the 'virus' & not being able to go out much, or simply staying home.) ❤

Amen.... I agree with you.... This is fantastic also as a meal for a shut in, a new mother and her family, someone who just had surgery, a neighbor or anyone who has done a special thing for you or been a special friend. I've made this in gigantic batches, put the amount you need for each person/family in casserole dishes from the thrift store, then tell them to keep the dish. I also do this at Christmas. find pretty Christmas plates and put a bunch of cookies on it, cover it, add a Christmas card, give to all your neighbors.

Actually, Chicken Divan was the very 1st dish we were taught to cook in my Home Economic class in the 9th grade. I remember going home that very same day to tell my momma all about what we had cooked and ate that day. I ended up making it for me and my momma that same week. My momma really enjoyed it but I think she loved the idea that I had taken an interest in cooking and more importantly, the idea of sharing something new to me, that I had enjoyed so much myself, and wanting someone else to have that experience... TY for that memory, I had forgotten all about that.

Thank you Paula! Please don’t stop

OMG, my mom used to make this dish all of the time! She used to serve it with hot sour dough rolls with butter and a nice salad. One of my all time favorite meals!

This was my second family meal I would cook as a young teenager! My first was the boxed spaghetti dinner from kraft! Memories

They do often use the unsold roasted/rotisserie chicken for things like chicken salads, casseroles, etc.

Looks good. I didn't grow up on casseroles either, but for another reason. I tried another version of that, and wasn't very impressed. Yours looks SO much better. My love for southern cooking is from staying in Alabama (right on the border of GA) for an extended week as a teen, due to an unexpected funeral. I went as guest, so guess who tended to the door and gathered all the food? Yeppers..., ME! Went back and cleaned butter beans too. WOW! Those are great! I don't think I've had any since. You're my southern touch of home... Have a blessed day everyone! !

Hey Paula! Great dish! It is one of my family favorites. I use cayenne instead of curry in my chicken Divan. Also, I don't layer everything. I mix everything with the sauce and sometimes I top with panko, other times I top it with shedded cheese the last 10 minutes of cooking time in the oven. This dish is great to take to a family that has just come home with a new baby and also to families that are mourning. I only use a dab of cayenne in these cases. The simple ingredients seem to appeal to all ages and they don't bother me and my digestive system can be rather finicky. Love & best dishes from Mobile, AL!!!

Dear Ms D I'm 55 years old and really enjoy listening to you and watching you cook have done many of your recipes But the best part of hearing you is your laugh I lost my grandma in my 20's and both of you have a very similar laugh thank you for great memories ❤️😘 and fabulous laugh

I hadn't tasted chicken Divan (mom made something like this but never called it that) before about 20 years ago. I came across this somewhere (thought it was on a show) and it said Paula Deen's recipe. I got the recipe, made it, and just fell in love. I have truly never tasted something so good.... I have made this now since coming across it that 20-25 years ago. My kids loved it (when they were all home)...Now my husband and i love it... Paula Deen's is the only one I'll make... I've seen others make it but leave things out and i know what it taste like the way Ms. Deen makes it so I do it her way...This is my absolute favorite.... I do add a little Mrs. Dash (the green ) in the sauce....Oh My... I've had people rave over this when I made it... I always say, "This is Paula Deen's recipe, so you know it's good."

I just love listening to you talk Paula! And you have such great recipes!

I like these shows that are not scripted and over produced. Thank you.

This is my favorite dish! I could eat it every single day! Just made a one-pan version of it week before last. It's delicious! My version has no curry (I don't consider it a curry dish), no sour cream; sauce is cheese, cream of chicken soup, mayo, lemon juice, mustard, dash of cayenne and a little paprika. The lemon and mustard elevate the sauce flavor way beyond the soup taste. And it's topped with cheese instead of bread crumbs. When I was in college a friend of mine made it for me. I had never had broccoli before. So this dish brought me into the world of broccoli (which I just ate some today). It's a must try dish (although I don't know about curry in this).

Chicken Divan is an old recipe and Stouffer’s used to make a frozen version back in the 80s and it was delicious. I used to take it to work every other day.

I've always wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed your cooking demos. You scrape the bowls clean! You've gotten me through some tough times Paula Deen so I appreciate every effort you put forth to continue on, the chicken dish looks yummy too. Thanks for being you.

The lemon juice & curry make this dish! It needs a lot more curry & lemon juice for that quantity of sauce! I prefer to add the cheese separately on top of the sauce & then the breadcrumbs. I only use chicken soup, mayo, lemon curry, lemon juice, chicken & broccoli. Still great! Simple to make but you will get the compliments! Side dish... Saute wild rice mix with mushrooms, almonds & onions in butter then add chicken broth instead of water. Put in casserole dish, cover & cook in oven at same time as Chicken Divan. Yum. Thanx Paula!

Growing up this was my aunts go to dish when she invited us for dinner. Always thought it was so fancy. Loved the sauce and cheese. Thank you for bringing back this memory.

And they are wonderful! We do thank you so much! My mom made the best Chicken Divan! Yummy! We would have that for Sunday lunch...she only used breast meat , (my favorite) and she used all the good stuff! Mayo, sour cream, cheddar cheese, etc ...no-low calorie divan! Bless u and stay healthy!

Sounds yummy!! Paula you look beautiful!! You sure are up earlier cooking this morning. Stay well and safe!! Happy Cooking!!

This was a family staple while my kids were growing up. A dear friend of ours, Grampa Joe, first introduced us to it. It was so loved by my family that my youngest son had it at his wedding! The caterer made it on request! Never did the curry sour cream or panko. I think I am going to whip one up like yours! But I am adding white wine I think. Thanks Paula! It's so nice to have you back in my home. Missed you.

I’m a Happy Camper and I’m gonna make this in my RV on the road! Thanks for the reminder of an old classic I used to make when the children were all still in the house.

Love this bake, it's been a favourite standby meal for years in our house, and there are loads of variations. I've seen it sprinkled with crushed crisps over the top as well. Most people love a curry in the UK, we have a high Southern Asian population so Indian food is everywhere, and very popular. We pronounce Divan differently over the pond - div rhymes with give.

“I need to add more butter...” You go woman! 😜 I adore this casserole! Honestly, I’ve been craving this so much. I need to make me some. My variation uses broccoli spears, and I make my soup as an enriched cream sauce - but definitely use the curry, cheese, and lemon. 👍🏻

Thank you Miss Paula! I have been looking for a good version if this recipe for a while. I have some chicken I need to spruce up.

It's cornstarch that they put in packaged grated cheese to keep it from clumping up. I prefer grating my own!
