How to make

Clean the chicken breasts from the skins and white parts. Cut them into pieces and marinate them in olive oil, black pepper, white wine, paprika and salt. Leave it like this for about 2 hours.

Then strain the wine and transfer the meat into a baking pan.

Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Season them with salt, olive oil and pepper and arrange them on top of the chicken.

For the Béchamel, fry the flour in the butter, until it starts smelling nice. Pour the milk a little at a time, by stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or wire whisk.

Boil the sauce for about 8-10 minutes on moderate heat and taste it at the end. The béchamel should be slightly thinner than usual.

Pour the products into the baking pan with the white sauce, wrap with aluminum foil and bake in an oven heated to 390°F (200°C) for about half an hour.

Remove the baking pan and check whether the meat and vegetables are ready, if you decide, let them bake a little longer.

Finally, sprinkle the baked broccoli with grated cheese and place them back into the oven to melt and aquire a golden crust.

Serve and enjoy the Oven-Baked Chicken with Broccoli and Béchamel!
