Set your oven rack to the upper-middle position.

7
Stir in the flour and cook, stirring for about 1 minute.
8
Whisk in the chicken broth, cream, and sherry and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.
9
Return chicken to skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
10
Transfer chicken to broiler-safe baking dish.
11
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until bright green and slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
12
Add the broccoli and 1 cup cheese to skillet, stirring to combine.
13
Season with salt and pepper and pour broccoli mixture over chicken.
14
Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and broil until browned and bubbly, 2 to 4 minutes.
