Comments:  I found a recipe for Chicken Divan in a Philadelphia Cream Cheese cookbook dated 1981.  It was sounded so simple to make that I couldn't pass it by.  I did make a few changes.  I increased the cream cheese, left out the Worcestershire sauce, used uncooked broccoli and added the French fried onions.  This dish is delicious!  And its even better the next day, if that's possible.  If you're a broccoli lover, increase the amount and if you want to try adding the Worcestershire sauce, the original recipe called for 1/2 tsp.  If you aren't a French fried onion lover, use Panko instead to give it that little crunch on top.
