    Why You Want to Make this Gluten Free Chicken Broccoli Casserole

    This gluten free casserole is a creamy and comforting as they come! It's thick, cheese, and quite delicious. It'll be a family favorite in no time!

    This recipe is made with all clean ingredients as well, no food colorings, preservatives, or junk.

    Needed Ingredients

    Needed Ingredients
    • Broccoli
    • Cauliflower Rice
    • Cream of Chicken Soup (see below)
    • Mayonnaise
    • Mustard
    • Chicken
    • Garlic Powder
    • Salt
    • Chili Powder
    • Cheddar Cheese
    • Gluten Free Breadcrumbs

    Please note that you can use any cream of chicken or mushroom soup recipe you like, but to keep it gluten free and healthy, make this Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup.

    I also like to use this Whole30 mayo recipe, to keep it soy, vinegar, and sugar free!

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Use leftover Thanksgiving Turkey in place of leftover chicken.
    • Swap out the cheddar cheese for something different such as pepper jack cheese.
    • Take out the spices and use curry powder instead for a completely different twist!

    How to Make

    Start by making sure the veggies and chicken are all prepped and preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Simply mix all of the ingredients, except the breadcrumbs), together in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix all the ingredients together

    Transfer the mixture to an oven safe casserole dish.

    Prepared casserole dish

    Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly. In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top. Enjoy!

    Storage and Freezing

    For any leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Because of the mayo and cream of mushroom soup, I would only freeze this recipe after it's been baked. Freeze it for up to 3 months!

    Thaw it in the fridge the day before serving, then heat it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the desired temperature is reached.

    What to Serve with Gluten Free Chicken Divan

    You can serve this meal as is! It doesn't need anything else, but if you wanted to, here are some ideas.

    • Serve it over gluten free pasta.
    • Serve it over white rice.

    Top Tips

    Use pre-riced cauliflower! This is a big time saver and makes less dishes for you.

    FAQ's

    What do you serve with Chicken Divan?

    See above for more ideas, but you can serve it over rice or pasta!

    Can you use frozen broccoli?

    You can use frozen broccoli! The broccoli texture will be mushy though, so just keep that in mind.

    Yes, and that's my preferred way to make this recipe! It saves you from making the chicken before you can even start the dish.
