Very good!

Wonderful!!! I wanted a non-traditional recipe for broccoli and this is it. I will make it often. Used two cloves of garlic and agree that more broccoli would have been a good idea.

This dish was great. I don’t like broccoli but I was cooking for my girlfriend and her kids. We all wound up thoroughly enjoying this meal. I even ate the broccoli. I used chicken sausage to add some extra flavor and hit a home run.

AMAZING!! We did a bigger batch of this so we did more white wine and oregano etc, and we cooked it in our Wok, but WOW! So much flavor, we will make this again for sure!

Made this delicious meal tonight and my family and I absolutely loved it. So nutritious and flavorful.

Tangy and yummy! I used white balsamic vinegar and hunts tomato sauce. This is a recipe to repeat. The kids said they liked it!

Note that the “ingredients” doesn’t mention garlic but the directions do. I added 1 large clove of fresh garlic, minced. Also I used a 15oz. jar of alfredo sauce in place of the 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce and I used boneless chicken thighs as I think the darker meat is tastier. The only other thing I’d do next time is increase the broccoli florets from 2 cups to 3 cups. This dish turned out perfectly!
