Broccoli Chicken Divan


About a year after I had my son I decided to try the Atkins diet to help get the baby weight off.  That diet worked very well for me back then, but it's not something I would do forever.  Anyway, I was always searching for low-carb recipes, and came across this one.  I was excited about this particular recipe because a lot of broccoli chicken divan recipes have mayonnaise in them (yuck!), and this one does not (score!).

It was love at first bite for me.  I have been making this dish regularly for the past 13 years, and I never get sick of it.  It's one of those handy one dish meals that does not take a lot of time to put together, so it's perfect for a weeknight meal.  Pretty much everyone who eats this loves it....well, except my son, but that's only because he's not crazy about broccoli.
