Chicken Rice and Broccoli – One Pan – 30 Minutes
You will have another quick, easy and delish one pan meal on the table in 30 minutes. Here we go!
Put a large skillet on at medium high and eyeball about 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil into it. Cut up the chicken breasts or tenders into about 1″ cubes and put them in the pan. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Stir the chicken up occasionally as it cooks.
Take your broccoli florets out of the fridge, cut the onion into strips and chop up the garlic.
When the chicken has just started to brown add the veggies to the pan.
When the onion strips start to get translucent add the minute rice, butter and the chicken broth.
Bring the liquid up to a fast simmer then lower the heat just enough to maintain the simmer. Stir it often as it cooks and add more broth or water if necessary. The rice should be ready in about 8-10 minutes. When it is as soft or as firm as YOU like it mix in the grated parmesan cheese and serve it up! We like this quick and easy one pot meal and I bet you and your gang will too.
BTW any leftovers will make great lunch tomorrow or in the freezer for a weeknight nuke it no brainer.
Pinot Grigio rounded things out real nice for us.
