Amy’s Chicken Divan Casserole, I love putting chicken divan together in one, simple and delicious casserole The flavors are mildly distinct, yet maintain a fresh, light flavor My mother always made this from scratch, and there’s no other way to get that rich, full flavor I make this more fiber/calorie-friendly by substituting white whole-wheat flour, fat-free and low sodium chicken broth, and fat-free half-and-half Feel free to adjust the lemon juice, sherry or parmesan cheese to your liking Serve with caesar or tossed salad Enjoy!, This was pretty yummy and makes for easy leftovers I added some lemon to the leftovers for a little extra zip Easy and wonderful!
