Chicken Divan

I opted to par boil egg noodles and place as first layer in baking dish. Family liked it. Great flavor. Definitely cut the broccoli small if following instructions precisely. My broccoli was not cooked well enough since added later in the stove top process.

add cooked white rice before baking

Poured 1.5 cups rice with cup of water, stirred in bottom of pan before layering chicken mix on top. Used chicken thighs, about half the cheese amount, and homemade breadcrumbs from blended toast.

This was so tasty. I omitted the milk as there was already enough liquid in the pan after the chicken and I didn't want it to be soupy. I used two cans of cream of chicken soup and omitted the sour cream just because I had none. It was perfect and the Ritz cracker topping....don't skimp on that!
