Chicken Divan image

My mother grew up with a mother who was a Cordon Bleu chef. Her mom (my Granny) loved elevated casseroles and elegance-infused one-pot meals. My mother took this passion with her into her own military family kitchen. My mom is a natural wizard of good flavor and she made this classic recipe her own. What makes this truly a family tradition is the topping of crushed graham crackers instead of standard crackers. The sweetness with the curry is everything! This is my favorite recipe of hers and it always felt like home when she made it, no matter where we were in the world. She made it famous when my dad was a TAC (Training, Advising, Counseling) officer at West Point military academy. She would make a mountain of her chicken divan and the cadets would come over, eat a wheelbarrow of it and fall asleep on the floor. That's why this recipe is now known amongst our family and friends as "Cadet Dinner." Proud to say, our son who is now an active F-16 pilot, calls this one of his favorite dishes, too-so the tradition continues!

  • In a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the broccoli stems and florets until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well.
  • Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat. Add half of the thighs and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 more tablespoon of the butter and the remaining thighs. Slice the chicken into 3/4-inch-wide strips.
  • In the casserole, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the onion, mushrooms, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream, bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushroom sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup of the cheese, the mayonnaise, lemon juice and smoked paprika. Stir until the cheese is melted. Add the chicken and broccoli and stir to coat, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
