I had an opportunity to take a meal to someone in our church this week whose husband is in the hospital. I wanted to take them something that was easy to fix, comforting, and yummy. This Chicken Divan is my husband’s FAVORITE meal and it is all of the above!
Don’t worry – I followed THESE tips for taking someone a meal during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Some tips if you are taking a meal to someone…
- Use dishes that the recipient won’t have to return. I love using THESEtoss away pans that come with lids when I am taking a casserole like Chicken Divan.
- Include easy sides. For this meal, I included a bag of organic brown microwaveable rice and a package of rolls from the bakery.
- Don’t forget a sweet treat! When people are going through hard times, food can be a very important tool of comfort. I love baking homemade brownies and including them in my meal. THIS is my favorite brownie recipe that I got from my precious Aunt Greta.
- I like to add Bible verses to each food item that I am delivering! It makes the whole meal meaningful and hopefully blesses their hearts in addition to their tummies. If the recipients are facing a crisis, I like to use Bible verses from my Crisis Scripture Folder Printable. Just write the verses on Post-Its or small index cards and tape to the front of every food item. Here is my favorite verse to include – “He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things.” Psalm 107:9
- Check out Take Them a Meal for more ideas on how to care well for others by meal giving. I absolutely love this site and their mission.
And now for the Chicken Divan recipe!

You can use a rotisserie from your grocery store's deli to speed this meal up! Equally delicious and fast!

Joyfully,
