Chicken Divan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chicken Divan is a chicken casserole usually served with broccoli, almonds and Mornay sauce. [1] It was invented at and named for the by-gone Divan Parisien Restaurant in the New York Chatham Hotel. [2]
The Divan Parisien served Chicken Divan as their signature dish in the 1950s. The chef or chefs who originally created it are unknown. In France the word divan refers to a meeting place or great hall. This name was chosen to attract the attention of the Divan Parisien owners by implying a kind of continental elegance.[3]
The dish is now commonly prepared with regular parmesan cheese and remains one of the most classic American casserole dishes today. [4]
