CHICKEN DIVAN (DIABETES-FRIENDLY VERSION) RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 2-quart casserole or 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Remove the outer wrappers from the boxes of broccoli. Open one end of each box. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes until thawed. Drain and put into the prepared baking dish. Top with the chicken. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until they release their juices and thoroughly brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme during the last minute of cooking time. Add to the baking dish with the chicken and broccoli. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soup, broth, mayonnaise, yogurt, 2/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese, curry powder, and pepper. Pour over the broccoli-chicken mixture and mix well with a spatula. Grate the bread over the large holes of a box grater to make coarse soft crumbs. Combine the bread crumbs, melted butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until blended; sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake uncovered until the filling is bubbly around the edges and the topping is lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN DIVAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a little olive oil or cooking spray, coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish for easy release after baking.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet (at least 12 inches in diameter, with a lid) over medium-high heat. Season both sides of each breast with salt and pepper. Once the oil shimmers, place the chicken breasts into the hot skillet all tucked in next to each other (like socks in a drawer!). Brown the first side for about 6 minutes. Flip each chicken breast to the other side for additional browning, another 6 minutes. Add the 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet, pop on the lid and turn the heat down to medium low. Leave it alone for 3 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of each chicken breast is 165 degrees F, then remove to a plate and let them rest for a minimum of 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms, stirring continuously, until they are a light brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and transfer to a large bowl (at least 6 quarts in size). Add the mushrooms, broccoli, both cans of soup, mayonnaise, sherry, lemon juice and curry powder. Mix together thoroughly, then transfer to your prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the cheese on top and set aside.
• Combine the graham crackers with the parsley and melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the cheese.
• Place the casserole on a sheet pan and bake in the oven until the top is browned and the casserole is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve over your favorite cooked rice.
