Turn the oven on to 200 °C, convection or regular bake.
Peel and slice the potatoes
Peel the 0.6 kg of potatoes and cut them into thin rounds, about 3 mm. Keep them raw and don't rinse them.
Tip · Cut the rounds the same thickness so they all cook at the same time, or some will stay hard.
Parboil the broccoli
Cut the broccoli into small florets. Drop them into a saucepan of salted boiling water for 4 min, then drain them well.
Sear the chicken
Cut the 2 chicken breasts into 2 cm cubes. Brown them for 5 min in the skillet with the olive oil, salt and pepper, stirring.
Make the cream
In the mixing bowl, mix the 10 cl of cream, the 5 cl of milk, the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss to coat them well.
Build the gratin
Spread half the potatoes in the dish, then scatter the chicken and broccoli. Finish with the rest of the potatoes and the cream left in the bowl, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake
Cover with foil and bake 25 min at 200 °C. Remove the foil and keep going for 20 min, until the top is golden and a knife tip slides into the potatoes with no resistance.
Tip · If the top browns too fast, put the foil back on the dish until it's done.
Check and let it rest
Cut a piece of chicken: it should be white in the middle, with no pink. Let the gratin rest 5 min before serving.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
