- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch chunks
- 2 bunches fresh broccoli, trimmed and chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy cream

What to Do
- In a 6-quart soup pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, mixing constantly until a thick paste is formed. Remove to a small bowl and set aside.
