I have always loved Chicken and Broccoli.  I used to make it and put it over a Stove Top Stuffing recipe as a newlywed.

| Chicken and Broccoli Divan ......great over Noodles... | 
 I am trying to reduce the calories in some of my cooking though. So instead I'm going to try it over noodles. The basic recipe is yummy, filling and pretty easy.

| Chicken and Broccoli Casserole | 
RECIPE for Chicken and Broccoli Divan over Noodles
- 3/4 pound chopped fresh broccoli (steamed 5-7 minutes)
- 1 1/2 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat ( I grilled 3 breasts) 
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 + cup milk (depending on how thick you like it)
- 1/2 teaspoon Johnny's Season Salt
- Dash of lemon pepper or regular pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese or your cheese preference
- 1/3 cup sauteed onions 
- 1/3 cup sauteed red or yellow peppers if desired
- wide egg noodles cooked and drained.

| Some of my ingredients for the sauce, and wide egg noodles to spoon the yummy stuff over!
 | 
|  | 
| I used up my yellow peppers and it added so much flavor I'd do it again! | 
 
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Place the broccoli in a saucepan and steam approximately 6 minutes. 
- Place the cooked broccoli in a casserole dish. Top with the grilled, sliced up chicken and grilled onions. In a bowl, mix the soup, sour cream, spices and milk, and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese or a mix of cheeses.  
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
- Spoon over cooked and drained individual plated servings of wide egg noodles. Enjoy!  
Steam your veggies...... I had broccoli and some leftover raw zucchini
 
I had a bit of leftover yellow pepper, like a 2 inch x 4 inch sliver so I added that to my onions as they were sauteing just to use it up. Surprisingly it added some pretty color and yummo flavor!

| Stir fry your peppers and onion.... | 
|  | 
| Spay Pan in a casserole and pour veggies in..... | 
 
 I also had a 1/3 of zucchini so I added it to the broccoli. I had used some of the broccoli when I grilled veggies a few nights ago so didn't have quite 3/4 pound, so that's why you can see zucchini.
|  | 
| Mix the milk, Cream of Chicken soup and sour cream and spices..... | 
|  | 
| Cut up your previously grilled chicken....I used 3 skinless breasts.... | 
|  | 
| Put those in with the veggies.... | 
 
 But these are good additions for health and low cal too! Woop!
|  | 
| Pour the soup and sour cream mixture over the veggies and chicken.... | 
|  | 
| I topped mine with shredded cheddar and fresh Parmesan cheese ... then bake it up! | 
|  | 
| My finished Chicken and Broccoli Divan comes out bubbly and cheesy and good! | 
 
 And color is always an added bonus!  If you like crunch like I do you can top this with slivered almonds or Chinese crunchy noodles too!
