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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
