Slow Cooker Chicken Divan

 
There are days, particularly cold and rainy days like today, where I welcome a Crockpot meal. Recently I ran across this recipe to make chicken divan in the slow cooker, and I had to give it a try. This was the first time that I had ever seen a slow cooker recipe for chicken divan, so naturally, I was curious. It was also the first time I’d seen curry powder used in the making, and I must say I liked it a good deal. There is really nothing easier than this. Yes, it does contain a can of condensed soup, and I know that condensed soup is not all that good for you, but there are days when I’m willing to take the trade off in order to gain time to do something else. I served mine with wild rice, and it was a wonderful meal.

Slow Cooker Chicken Divan

Slightly adapted from cooktopcove.com

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 10.5-oz. can cream of chicken soup

1/3 c. Duke’s mayonnaise

1/3 c. sour cream

1 t. fresh lemon juice

1½ c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided

 ½ t. curry powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Buttered breadcrumbs for topping 

Spray the interior of your slow cooker with PAM.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, curry powder, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken.
 
Place broccoli florets on top of the chicken and sauce mixture, pressing down lightly.
 
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
 
Once cooked, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top and cover for an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese melts.
 
For a crunchy topping, you can briefly broil buttered breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the dish just before serving.

  3. YUM! Those buttered bread crumbs drew me in. ;) I applaud your use of condensed soup! It gets a bad rap, but fact is, it makes stuff taste good.

  4. I love slow cooker recipes Pattie and I just added this to my February recipe bucket list! I can't wait to try it, thank you! Not sure about the curry powder, can I leave that out?

  5. Yes, Jenna, you can leave the curry powder out. I did not find it to be at all overt, and, had I not known it was in there would not have been able to detect it. It just provided a nice bit of something.

  6. Believe it or not, I've never had chicken divan! Yours looks divine, all gooey and cheesy. Also, I know what you mean about condensed soup. I used to make lots of casseroles with them but do so sparingly now. Still, sometimes nothing beats Campbell's cream of potato.🍗🥦🧀
