EatingWell Recipe
While the exact French origin of this month's EatingWell recipe may be up for
debate, what is not in question is Chef Reto Biaggi's brilliant
adaptation of Chicken Divan with Spaghetti and Broccoli.
Chef Reto, owner of Reto's Kitchen in Greensboro, is a Master Executive Chef who
trained in Switzerland and France. He specializes in creating dishes that are
delicious, visually appealing, and, most importantly, not overwhelming to prepare.
Whether you are cooking a weeknight supper or hosting a dinner party for friends,
this recipe is sure to be a hit.
