Notes

You can serve Creamy Chicken with Broccoli over freshly cooked rice or pasta. A sprinkle of extra cheese or fresh herbs like parsley enhances flavor. Complement this dish with a side salad or garlic bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat gently and add chicken broth or cream if the sauce thickens.
