CHICKEN DIVAN aka CHICKEN DIVINE

I have a genetic disorder.  Really, I do.  It is just genetically impossible for me to follow a simple recipe!  This started out as me making Chicken Divan from a recent issue of Cook's Country on skillet suppers, but it turned into something completely different.

Hubby loved it so much, he ate it for 3 nights in a row with no complaints!

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 pounds broccoli crowns, chopped large
