Chicken Divan Upgrade: Rachael's Chicken Mornay with Broccolini on Toast Points

In a large pot, bring 3 inches of water to a boil over high heat.

Pull the white meat from the chicken and tear it into large bite-size pieces, discarding the skin and bones. (Reserve the dark meat for another use.) In a large skillet, heat the chicken in the stock over medium until warm, about 2 minutes.

Salt the boiling water and add the broccolini. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; drain. (If making this in advance, cold-shock it to save for later.)

In another skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add the shallot, then grate in the garlic. Stir until the shallot and garlic soften, about a minute. Whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking often, until the flour is absorbed, about 1 minute. Whisk in the sherry, then the milk, and bring to a bubble. Cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 3 minutes. Grate in some nutmeg and add a hint of cayenne, then stir in the cheeses. Season the Mornay sauce with white pepper. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with some stock from the skillet.

Butter the toast: cut corner to corner. Arrange toast on a plate, then top with the broccolini, chicken and sauce. Garnish with parsley and paprika, if using.
