If you are gathering together friends for an open house or for a summer dinner onr of the easiest and most welcome dishes to prepare is Chicken Divan. This casserole, which is well-like by adults and children, combines chicken and broccoli in a creamy cheese sauce with mushroom soup and a jar of sliced mushrooms.

This is an easy dish to prepare because Chicken Divan can be made ahead of time, then reheated in a moderate oven for about 1/2 hour, or until bubbly.
