1. Preheat the oven and cut the chicken breast into cubes. Wash the broccoli and clean the mushrooms. Cut the broccoli into florets and quarter or halve the mushrooms.2. Steam (or boil) the broccoli until the florets are tender-crisp. When you're done with this pan you can cook the rice in it (efficiency serves us 😉 ).3. Crush the garlic, heat olive oil in a frying pan and briefly sauté the garlic. Add the chicken pieces and season with pepper, salt and the saffron powder. This spice gives the dish a 'warm' flavor and a nice yellowish color. Fry the mushrooms briefly until cooked (they don't need as long as the chicken, so add them a bit later).4. In a small bowl, mix the ragout with the crème fraîche and stir in a generous amount of curry powder. You can also add some pepper and salt if you like.5. Okay, now fill the baking dish! Start with the broccoli, then add the chicken with mushrooms and then the ragout mixture. Sprinkle a little breadcrumbs over it and finish with a thin layer of cheese.6. Now the dish goes in the oven for about 20 minutes. Serve the dish with rice, enjoy!
