This is a winning dish. Surprisingly tasty, full of robust and savoury flavours and a great way to use up cooked chicken. Also, if your broccoli is looking a bit tired, then this is a delicious way to give it new life and save it from the compost monster. Save energy by batch cooking other ingredients for the week whilst using the oven to roast the broccoli.
