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!

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!

You’ve introduced me to something new Pamela. This sounds wonderful. And I love seeing your garden in winter, how amazing!
Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health says
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.
Pam says
Mmmm. Creamy and delicious looking recipe. I have a feeling my kids would gobble these veggies right up.
Shundara@SavyNaturalista says
