Chicken and Broccoli In White Sauce
Chicken and Broccoli In White Sauce is a savory Asian recipe that uses a creamy sauce. Your family will fall in love with it!
Do you love chicken and broccoli as much as I do? Goodness, I just love it. This is the chicken and broccoli recipe I love dearly and I have gotten such nice comments, emails and messages about it – I’m so glad you love it as much as I do!
I was in Chinatown a few weeks ago where I was feeling hungry after acupuncture so I ran across the street to a shop called “Excellent Dumpling House”. There I got some Chinese takeout goodies to go, along with a amazing pork dumpling. While I was waiting for my order to be done so many people came in and ordered the Chicken and Broccoli in White Sauce. My eyes rose every time someone ordered it, I had never heard of this at a Chinese restaurant. So I did what everyone else would do, I took out my phone and begun googling furiously.
In the next week, something was telling me to make this dish. I received not one, but two completely random comments and email asking me if I had a Chicken and Broccoli in White Sauce recipe. Can you believe that? First in line, then real life questions. It’s like I was meant to make this.
This is a great dish that is creamy and full of yummy vegetables (hello broccoli, sugar snap peas and carrots). It’s more rich than your usual Chicken and Broccoli due to the sauce which is made with heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
Next time you’re in the mood for Chicken and Broccoli, give this dish a shot, I hope you enjoy!

This looks so delicious! I’m always looking for new ways to make chicken and feed the boy broccoli! This is perfect.
Interesting! I’ve never heard of this either. It sounds like an Italian dish (like a pasta primavera or something). Looks good!
I love the Excellent Dumpling House! But I’m not sure if I’ve ever had their chicken in white sauce…
This looks delicious, Pamela! What a great one dish meal packed with veggies!
Chicken and Broccoli in White Sauce at a Chinese restaurant is new to me too! Buutt I’ll take it, I love a good chicken and broccoli casserole, so this is right up my alley! P.S I can’t believe you are still growing veggies, you must have one serious green thumb.
I love chicken and brocolli together. I would serve this on top of a big mound of fluffy, white rice. Yum!
Talk about Comfort Food ! And this is a great dish to prepare for guests!
Those veggies covered in that cream sauce looks so.good.right.now. I was pleasantly surprised at how simple this dish is, because your pictures make it look so fancy! P.S. the lighting in these is fabulous!
Huge thing of broccoli in my fridge! You’ve just inspired me to whip something up though I may attempt dairy-free with nutritional yeast:)
This looks absolutely delicious. So jealous of your fresh vegetables 🙂
I’m incredibly impressed that you’re still growing veggies—go you! This dish looks amazing too!
Yum. Chicken and broccoli is a great combination. It sounds extra good with the white sauce.
Seriously, are the vegetable still growing, so so jealous…I could not grow cilantro in beautiful California weather..haha.
The dish looks so comforting and yummy.
What a great recipe. I am always looking for side dishes and this would be a great one. Pinned it for later consumption. 🙂 And seriously? I had NO idea that you could grow a garden in winter. Learned something new today!
I have never heard of chicken and broccoli in white sauce either! I love regular chicken and broccoli so I have a feeling I would definitely enjoy this : )
Wow, it looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it for my family.
(And I can’t believe you’re still growing vegetables!)
We love chicken and broccoli! Sounds amazing!! I have to make this one soon! Love your roof top garden- genius!!
Oh wow – yalls greenhouse is incredible! Veggie growing in the snow and cold deserves an award and so does this dish! I too adore broccoli, but I must confess, I have never baked it – ever! Thanks for sharing Pamela
This looks divine and I am so inspired to try and grow through the winter next year! Envious of your garden fresh veggies!
I will pass this nutritious recipe to my sister, she loves chicken/veggies combo. For my “vegetarian needs” I will just substitute chicken with tofu and et voila’, a great dish for me!
I’ve heard of people ordering chicken and broccoli in white sauce but just always thought they were weirdos… apparently it’s a real thing, haha! This looks great!
And by the way, I so LOVE that distressed wood backdrop you used in the photos. SO cool!
Simple and delicious! But how do you grow a garden in the winter time? (says the girl with the black thumb)
Well, it does sound like you were fated to make this!! I’ve never heard of such a thing at a Chinese restaurant. Sounds wonderful!
Anything is better with heavy cream and parm!!!!!
Chicken and Broccoli is always what I order at Chinese restaurants. This creamy white sauce looks extra good.
This is really interesting!
I also love the colours of the whole dish.
Yummy!! Love creamy sauce with veggies.
Now THIS is what I want for dinner! YUM!
I pretty much love anything covered in a cream sauce, but especially when it includes broccoli. This looks really delicious!
Just made chicken and broccoli tonight for my husband since little one is under the weather and I had some leftovers to pull it together. Your white sauce is such a great spin – we’d love to try it and I’m sure it’s delicious! And homegrown carrots in this temperature is awe-inspiring! Stay warm.
Love chicken and broccoli but have never tried it with white sauce, looks and sounds delicious:) That’s so awesome that you’re still growing veggies in the winter too!
Oh yeah, this looks like my kind of dish! We have broccoli and carrots growing now but haven’t been able to pick any yet.
I always have these ingredients on hand….I need to add this to our dinner menu ASAP!
What a simple, but perfect dish! And how lucky are you to have fresh veggies!
This sounds really good and so glad your veggie garden is doing so well 🙂
Oh, this is such a comforting, hearty dish! I love brocolli and cream, and, of course, chicken is always a welcome addition, especially if you have to feed a guy! 😉
I love your writing, so positive. And I like chicken with broccoli indeed.
cooking with ones own harvest is so unparalleled both in the terms of the freshness,the joy it gives and the delectable taste of dishes….a wonderful and comforting dish,thanks for sharing 🙂
That’s a beauty! Love the idea of growing vegetables on the roof top, so big-city! 🙂 ela
This looks yummy. I’ve started using more broccoli and I’ll definitely include this recipe.
So simple yet so so good. That’s what some of the best recipes are. Looks delish.
So hard to believe you’re still growing veggies even in this climate. You go girl!
Fresh vegetables, I know it was good and since it’s been cold. Great way to warm up! I am loving the hair by the way.. Your hair is reminding me of a few anime characters.. I think I am watching to much Fairy tale but I am loving the hair! 🙂
Mmmm. Creamy and delicious looking recipe. I have a feeling my kids would gobble these veggies right up.
maan those garden you got is impressive. Chicken and broccoli is one of my fav thing to get at Chinese restaurants too although I have had it with Asian sauce only. Well since you mentioned dairy free diet, you should try making cauliflower sauce or something.
You’ve introduced me to something new Pamela. This sounds wonderful. And I love seeing your garden in winter, how amazing!
I do, I do, and carrots too! This looks so delicious, Pamela.
This looks amazing! Looks so creamy and yummy, I would definitely eat more vegetables if they were in a creamy white wine sauce! 🙂
I feel like my parents used to order this a lot when we got Chinese take-out! But I haven’t had it in years. Looks like a great rendition of it!
This looks so absolutely delicious!! I would totally devour this for dinner, maybe with some brown rice. Perfection!
I think this sounds delicious. Pinned. And yes, I think chicken and broccoli make great partners. And I’ve got some ream in the fridge that’s still good from the holidays. Thanks for the recipe.
oh this looks soooo good I’m all about covering my veggies in a delicious sauce, it makes you eat so much more of them doesn’t it!
This looks delicious. I love that you still have veggies in the winter! 🙂
Wow, what a weird coincidence! Obviously you were meant to make this…and now since I’m reading this, I’m meant to make it to 🙂
