Chicken Rice and Broccoli - One Pan - 30 Minutes
Chicken, Broccoli and Rice in one pot - 30 minutes
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 4 chicken tenders or 1 large boneless skinless breast
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 large onion cut into strips
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 cup minute rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese plus a little for topping when you serve it.
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
If you are using frozen broccoli florets, don't worry about it, just take them out of the freezer first thing and then go ahead with the chicken.
