The recipe was originally marked with a difficulty level of "2" which indicates a lower than average cooking ability was needed to prepare this recipe. After preparation, we decided it should be a "3" since the sauce reduction takes at least an average skill level. It also called for only 9 ounces of broccoli which we felt was far too little for the amount of chicken. We doubled the amount of broccoli to make this a nearly one dish meal. If you served it with a heavy side dish you may not need extra broccoli, but we felt it was healthier than something starchy on the side. The recipe also did not call for any salt/pepper or seasonings. If you are using regular chicken broth (as opposed to low sodium) you may not need to add salt, but might want to add some pepper. Or else, let individuals season to taste at the table. If you don't have Madeira wine on hand, you can substitute dry sherry, or just use all chicken broth (use good quality for optimal flavor). The chicken was very moist and the sauce tasted very good with both the chicken and the broccoli.
