Recipe Introduction


The classic chicken casserole, Chicken Divan, gets a bit of an update with the addition of artichokes, which add a great tangy flavour to this dish. Jarred or canned artichokes can be substituted if frozen aren't available.





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups broccoli, cut into florets
  
• 2 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
  
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  
• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped
  
• 1 small celery rib, chopped
  
• 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  
• 1 1/2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  
• 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk
  
• 1 cup coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  
• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  
• 1 9 oz. box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and patted dry
  
• Hot red pepper sauce, to taste
  
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. Position oven rack in top third of oven and preheat to 375° F.
   
2. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold running water and drain again. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
   
3. Heat the oil in a large skilled over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
   
4. Add the butter to the skillet and melt it. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour and stir well. Stir in the broth and milk and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickener, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and the mustard. Stir in the chicken, broccoli, and artichokes. Season the sauce with salt and hot pepper sauce. Pour into a 2-quart baking dish (oval gratin dish is nice). Sprinkle the top of the dish with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and the Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted and serve immediately.
