Ingredients:- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Cut into small, bite-sized pieces)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup uncooked basmati rice
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth (Use CMM Bouillon)
- 1 bag (12 oz) frozen steamable broccoli (about 2 cups chopped broccoli)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (Use @violife_foods for dairy-free)
- In a 12-inch skillet pan (make sure it has a lid) over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, chicken, salt, and pepper.
- Cook 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is mostly non-pink in the middle. Chicken should be white on the outside. Drain the excess liquid and oil from the chicken.
- Add rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. (I cooked my rice with broth in a different pan)
- Simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
- While rice and chicken are simmering, cook the microwaveable broccoli in the microwave following the instructions on package (or add broccoli to pan and cook.)
- Once done, chop up the broccoli into smaller pieces, if wanted.
- When rice is done cooking, add broccoli and 1 cup of the cheese into the skillet pan. Stir together.
- Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese and cover with the lid. Let cook for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Enjoy!!
