This recipe is very good served over pasta or rice. I have also used turkey instead of chicken so bear that in mind when you want to use up leftover turkey.

Cook's notes

For best results, cook the broccoli until just tender to maintain a slight crunch.
Use fresh parmesan cheese for a richer flavor and better melt.
Adjust the amount of white wine to suit your taste or substitute with additional chicken broth.

Easy swaps

Instead of half-and-half cream, use whole milk or heavy cream for a lighter or richer sauce
Instead of dry white wine, use additional chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice
Instead of chicken breasts, use rotisserie chicken or turkey slices for a quicker option
