In the same pot the broccoli was cooked in, add the grits. Add the water amount listed on the package directions & cook according to package directions. - Step 5
Remove the chicken from the pan & set aside. Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream & cheese. Season with salt & pepper to taste. - Step 6
