We’ve had a pretty cold winter here in Florida this year. With the cold weather comes my desire for comfort food. However, with a lot of comfort foods (stews, casseroles, etc.) come lots of calories and fat.
I love a good casserole, but all of the creaminess and the noodles just end up making me feel uncomfortably full.
Enter: the baked chicken divan.
It has the richness and the creamy texture of a casserole…but without the added heft. All it takes is some sliced grilled chicken, broccoli, and diced tomatoes…
A mixture of 98% fat free cream of chicken soup and milk is mixed in, along with a sprinkle of cheese and panko bread crumbs for some crunch…
After a short time in the oven, you are met with a delicious, bubbly treat.
Seriously…scrumptious…

Perfect! I can’t wait to make this. Thanks for posting, Katie!
Yummy! Light and flavorful, the way I like it!
That looks amazing! I starred it on Google Reader so I can try it this weekend.
I’m billing you for the cost of a new keyboard. I drooled all over mine.
Haha- this looks so good! I’m glad you post healthier versions of recipes on your site. It’s too often that I get swept into following a recipe step for step, leading to too many calories and a sickly stomach later. 🙁
Looks, yummy and easy…but I can’t imagine chicken divan without rice! How do you serve this? (alone? alongside rice or noodles?)
I have all these ingredients in my kitchen, I’m pretty sure that this is what’s for dinner. 😉
YUM! Can’t wait to make it before it warms up here in Tejas.
I need to try that recipe! It looks great!!
This looks SO good and fairly easy. Maybe I’ll recommend the recipe to my husband for one of his nights to cook.
