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.
This dish can be made ahead, as it freezes well.
