Chicken Divan Gluten Free

"Courtesy of the Hillbilly Housewife. We used arrowroot starch instead of flour to make it gluten friendly. I also added some sage and rosemary and it was quite good. Adapted slightly."

3. Stir in arrowroot powder (or flour) until it is absorbed by the fat and clinging to the vegetables.
4. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk. Cook and stir until the mixture boils, boiling for another minute.

Delicious! I added sliced portabello mushrooms to the sauce, and used Parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. I substituted heavy cream for 1/2 cup of the milk, and used only 1/2 cup milk (1 cup total milk and cream,) for a thicker, richer sauce. I made this for my daughter's family. She's coming home from the hospital today with her new identical twin girls. The extra fat and calories from the cream will be good for her since she's nursing her babies. A friend made chicken divan for my family after my second daughter was born, and I've loved it ever since. :)

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it with all butter and used a little more milk, as I did not have white wine on hand. I added sliced mushrooms and rice to make it a one dish meal. It came out really well and was very easy to put together, though I'd like it to be just a bit more creamy. We will definitely make this again.
