Paula's Chicken Divan

Okay, we're ready to rock and roll

So today, Bobby, we're kind of doing a potluck meal. Mm-hmm. Chicken divan

Well, I call it chicken divan. Chicken divan. Chicken divan. Chicken divan

Chicken dive in, y'all. I don't make chicken divans. You don't? Mm-mm

All right, well, like I said, this is a great potluck meal. Mm-mm. We're going to start with two cans of cream of chicken soup. OK

Just like that. Once I get these in here, I'm going to turn this over to you. How can we lighten this up already

Oh, come on. Like chicken broth, do you think? Eat it and go to the gym

OK. I'll be over here shutting up. Pick up your spoon. OK

All right, now I'm going to eyeball about three quarters of a cup of sour cream

Holy . I'm going to add about a fourth of a cup of mayonnaise

I just told a lie Are you going to stir that or are you just going to stand there and look pretty I sorry I still stunned by the amount of fat that we started with Chicken broth I used like a half a cup

Just to prove I've got vegetables in it, I'm gonna put this whole bag of broccoli that's been steamed

You gonna put both tablespoons of broccoli in there? It's more than that. Not really

And I'm gonna add one teaspoon of curry. Now you can decrease that or increase it

Curry goes a long way, y'all. I can't remember how much chicken

so let's just kind of do it that-a-way. Two birds. That's a lot of birds, son

That is a lot of birds. All right, and I'm going to put, like, the juice of half a lemon

What? Nothing. It's just so fattening. I love it. Well, son, you know

some people have to do this. They have to? Some people have to do this

Yes, because they're invited at the last second and asked to bring something, so they bring it

All right, I'm putting Gruyere cheese, y'all. About two pounds? Yeah, whatever was in that sack

Whatever was in that sack son We just gonna spray our pan This is such a great go dish This is really quick and really simple And listen women have to live that way

All right, so I've taken some buttery crackers. And now I'm gonna make them a little bit more buttery

And it's so much easier to just mix your butter in with your crumbs rather than dotting it on top

because there's no way they all get covered. OK, sonny boy, so put this in here

You know what would be good in here would be water chestnuts

Well, yeah. Or is that too much like a vegetable? No. No, that would be good

Wait, here, let me get this spatula so I can get it on. It would give it some crunch

It would. That would be delicious. And now I'm going to do one other step because I like a little orange cheese

Just a little bit of orange. Now we're going to put our crackers on top

That's going to give it that wonderful buttery crunch. And we're going to put that in the oven

Baby, get that chicken divan out. Hot and delicious. Yes Look at you You serving this cheap little dish on your nice blue willa No this isn Blue Willa son This is my pattern Whatever Before I even taste it I going to predict deliciousness

And here's why. Okay. Two cans of cream of chicken soup. Yeah

A couple of birds. Yeah. A couple of pounds of cheese. No, just... Crackers

Yes. With drawn butter poured over them. Yes. Mm-hmm. And then baked in the oven

So what's not delicious about... You forgot the mayonnaise and sour cream? I forgot the mayonnaise and the sour cream and the broccoli

Poor broccoli. It's just losing. But damn, that's good. It's just one of those old standbys, son

I mean, you're not reinventing the wheel, but some days we don't have time to reinvent the wheel

You know what I'm talking about? It's quick. It's tasty. It's delicious

Everything's affordable. And it's super fattening. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go run about 100 miles

I'll be back. Have a good time. Thanks. It was delicious. What can I say
