3. Step 3

   After they’re done, drain the broccoli and set it aside for later.

   Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring continuously as the sauce thickens and starts to bubble—this should take around 10 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once you have a rich sauce, mix in the heavy whipping cream and a splash of white wine, stirring until everything is beautifully combined.
