I Can't Believe It

Okay, like most moms of small kids, I have a terrible time getting Hayden (age 4) to eat. Silas (age 2) would probably eat old socks if he could dip them in ketchup, but Hayden is a bit more finicky. So yesterday when I decided to make something new for dinner I fully expected to have to bust out a can of Spaghetti-O's in order to get Hayden to actually eat dinner.

Not so.

Chicken and Broccoli Divan is actually something that he likes that is good for him. Shocking! Now if only I can find more recipes that can take green vegetables and other healthy food and twist it in a way that he will eat it. In light of the fact that it was absolutely delicious, I will share this recipe with you. I found it on a Campbell's Soup can, but altered it slightly (as I am wont to do) with great success.

Chicken and Broccoli Divan
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
4 cups cooked broccoli
1 can Campbells low-fat cream of broccoli soup
1/3 cup 2% milk
Shredded cheese (I used a 4 cheese blend of mozzarella, monterey jack, cheddar and colby)
3 tbsp dry bread crumbs
1 tbsp melted margarine

Put the chicken and veggies in the bottom of a casserole dish or shallow baking dish. Stir in the soup and the milk. Sprinkle with cheese, as much as your family prefers. We like LOTS of cheese. Mix the bread crumbs with the margarine and then sprinkle over top. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.

Quick, easy and delicious. There wasn't any left over!

  1. Add between 2-3 cups of cooked rice and lemon juice to taste and use broccoli cheddar soup instead and you have a heartier version of my cheddar broccoli rice bake!
