How to cook deliciously - Chicken Divan from Scratch

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

2. Stage

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and pour into the prepared dish.

3. Stage

Warm oil in a large frying pan. Add chicken; sprinkle with steak seasoning. Saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour over broccoli in the casserole dish.

4. Stage

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour to make a thick paste, then pour in chicken broth. Continue stirring to dissolve the paste. Pour in heavy cream and sherry. Crumble in bouillon cube. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to ensure no lumps form.

5. Stage

Add 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese to the cream sauce; stir until completely melted. Pour cream sauce over the chicken and broccoli in the casserole dish.

6. Stage

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter and pour over bread cubes. Toss until all bread cubes are coated with butter. Arrange bread cubes evenly on top of the casserole. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top. Cover casserole tightly with foil.

7. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese and bread are browned, about 10 minutes more.
