Do you happen to have my mom's recipe for Chicken Divan? It has some ingredients that I've never seen in a Chicken Divan sauce, which is the best part of the recipe!!!! Mom's contained cream of chicken soup, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise. I think it also called for an alcohol ingredient like sherry, but mom never used it. There were maybe a couple more ingredients but I'm not sure. All I know is that I can't make this sauce taste right but I want to!!!! Please help if you can. Thanks!!!!

I know this says Turkey Divan, but it is basically the same recipe.

Me I like one like the top one. There is a restaurant chain in BC called White Spot. They serve it as Chicken Brocolli and Cheese. The small amount of curry powder really enhances the flavour.

Another one to try.

I'd use a dry white wine instead of sherry.

Here's mine from the 70's--still on the same recipe card.
Chicken Divan-
6 chicken breasts-cooked--deboned
2 pks frozen broccoli-cook 6 minutes & drain
Mix 1 can cream of chicken soup with 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 teasp. curry powder, 1/2 teasp lemon juice. Pour over chicken. Top w/ 1/2 cup cheese. Top all with 1/2 cup bread crumbs toasted in 1 Tbs melted butter. Bake 350 for 30 min. Serves 6-8
I also save leftover roasted chicken and use instead of breasts, or use canned chicken. Never used sherry or wine--just never tho't of it, but I bet some dry white wine would be wonderful in the casserole....and in a glass!

Sounds yummy -- think I remember Mom making this. If you want an easy way to get deboned chicken, Costco in my area sells its roasted chicken meat in 2.5lb packages and it is wonderful. I measure out 1 cup of the chicken and put it in a zip bag and freeze it. Great flavor for the chicken.

My mom was a great cook - and the recipes above sound familiar but the one that I remember by name was Chicken- Ala - King. Not sure if that was the correct spelling, but I remember some places put green grapes in it and I was so grossed out by the grapes and wouldn't even taste them.
