Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast chicken until cooked through and shred.
Cook Basmati Rice according to package directions.
Roast Broccoli Florets with 1 tbsp Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper for 15-20 minutes.
In a skillet, sauté Shallots and Garlic in 1 tbsp Butter until softened.
In a saucepan, melt remaining Butter over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in White Pepper, Nutmeg, Gruyere Cheese, and Parmesan Cheese until melted and smooth. This is your Mornay Sauce.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
