I had no reference photo this time so I tried to style it like the 1920s. I don’t think I did too shabby. The recipe is called Peach Surprise as there is a whole half of a peach hiding in there.

I talked about the origins of the 1950s classic chicken Divan on the blog. This dish was considered very swanky and elegant in its day.
