CHICKEN DIVAN

I am writing tonight because I have to leave early in the morning.  It looks like we may get some rain on Sunday.  A good day for this dish.  It was 90 degrees today and by Sunday it says around 74.  This is an old Knudsen recipe that I have had for many years, and it is as good today as it was way back when.  I think you will enjoy it, as will all of your family.  It is quick and easy and really delicious.  So here it is, I know you will like it.
