CHICKEN DIVAN


Cook 4 whole chicken breasts with 1 rib of celery & 1 small onion---seasonings.
Debone chicken when cooked.  Reserve chicken stock to be used in white sauce.  Cut cooked chicken in nice size pieces--set aside.

Steam 2 lbs. of broccoli--remove tough part of stalks, peel remaining stalk and split into spears.  (Steam slightly--do not over-cook.)

Prepare white sauce:
1 cup margarine
12 Tbsp. flour
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups half & half
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt - dash of pepper

Melt margarine, blend in flour, salt, season salt, pepper.  Add chicken broth & half and half.  Cook and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles.

Place broccoli crosswise into a 9x13 baking dish.  Pour 1/2 white sauce over broccoli. Top with chicken.  To remaining sauce add 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.  Pour over the chicken; sprinkle a little more cheese on top.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  (Broil just until sauce is lightly browned about 5 minutes.)

Serves 10
