Chicken Divan - An easy, quick, dreamy, creamy chicken and broccoli casserole topped with a buttery, crunchy topping. So comforting, so good.

INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ medium sweet onion, diced
1 rib celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup dry white wine
1 ¾ cups chicken stock
¾ cup heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan
4 cups small broccoli florets
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
FOR THE TOPPING
30 buttery crackers, lightly crushed, such as Ritz
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes; set aside.
3. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add onion and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
5. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6. Stir in chicken stock, heavy cream and Dijon; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses until melted.
8. Stir in broccoli and chicken until well combined. Sprinkle with topping.
9. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30-35 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes.
10. Serve, garnished with parsley, if desired.
