- Add the stock gradually while you keep stirring. Keep stirring until you have a smooth sauce.
- Add the crème fraîche and stir again.
- Taste the sauce and season with 1 tsp mustard, pepper, and salt to taste.
- Add the chicken, vegetables and broccoli to the sauce.
- Divide the rice over the oven dish and put the sauce on top. Stir.
