Classic Chicken Divan Casserole With Homemade Cream Sauce

"Broccoli Chicken Divan Casserole with Curry turns cooked chicken and fresh broccoli into a creamy, from-scratch dinner that skips the canned soup. A simple sauce made with broth, milk, sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine, Worcestershire, and a touch of curry bakes into a rich layer, then gets topped with buttery panko and Parmesan. It’s an easy oven casserole that works for weeknights, make-ahead meals, or spooned over egg noodles to stretch a little further. This version of Chicken Divan skips the canned soup and gives you a simple homemade sauce instead. You start with cooked, shredded chicken in the bottom of the dish, add just-tender broccoli on top, then pour over a sauce made from sautéed onions, broth, milk, sour cream, mayonnaise, a splash of white wine, Worcestershire, and a little curry powder. It bakes into a creamy layer that settles around everything."
