Ingredients

  • 5 whole chicken breasts
  • 1 large bunch of broccoli
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup whipped whipping cream
  • 6 tbsp sherry
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or more
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cook or gently saute chicken breasts until tender. Remove and debone. Cook the broccoli and season lightly, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter, stir in floud and then add the chicken stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly, then beat in the egg yolks. Whip the cream (not too stiff) and fold it in with sherry.

Step 3

Place the broccoli in the bottom of a casserole dish. Cover with half the sauce and top with grated cheese. Arrange the chicken over the cheese-covered broccoli and top with the remaining sauce; sprinkle with extra cheese if desired.

Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, just until very hot. If desired, put the dish under the broiler for a minute to brown at the end of the cooking period.
