Chicken Divan

Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease an 11- x 7-inch or 2.5-quart baking dish. Gather all ingredients.

Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; whisk in flour. Gradually add milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat.

Gradually stir about one-fourth of hot mixture into egg yolks; add yolk mixture to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Stir in sherry and next 3 ingredients. Fold in whipped cream.

Microwave broccoli according to package directions; drain. Arrange in prepared baking dish. Cover with chopped chicken. Pour sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.

Bake at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until bubbly and browned.
