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 Alfredo sauce which is made with heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
And can you believe this was made with garden fresh veggies? Yup, we’re still growing vegetables even in the winter time! Who doesn’t love going up to the roof, dusting away some snow, picking up the green house and cutting a fresh broccoli head? I love it!
Next time you’re in the mood for Chicken and Broccoli, give this dish a shot, I hope you enjoy!
Note: I made this dish prior to being on a dairy free diet and still wanted to share with you as it was too good to pass up. There will also be a few other creamy recipes in the near future I wanted to post. And yes, my mouth is watering while doing this post!
