This was enjoyed by the whole family!! So easy to put together. I used 1 cup of chicken broth because I had no white wine. I did add a little more chicken broth to the skillet when the broccoli was cooking to help it along. I added the basil with the salt and pepper. I think next time I will use red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Thanks!
