Ok, so what is Chicken Divan – It is a casserole dish created by a chef named Lagasi usually served with broccoli and Mornay sauce. The word ‘Divan’ refers to a great hall or meeting place and the name was given in the early twentieth century by the Divan Parisien Restaurant in the New York City Chatham Hotel where this dish was served as the signature dish.

Ingredients Substitute

  • I am using raw boneless chicken breasts, but you can use canned chicken breast instead. You can also use canned tuna instead of chicken
  • If you are not a broccoli fan then use spinach and mushrooms instead (cook the mushrooms with the broth to absorb excess liquid).
  • You can also use leftover sauteed kale and frozen kale for the substitute of broccoli
  • If you want to make keto chicken divan with curry then use 1 1/2 teaspoons of curry for the sauce.
