Easy, healthy meals in under 30 minutes

Quick & Simple :Chicken, broccoli, rice n cheese

Ingredients:

• 1-1 1/2lbs chicken breast, washed and cubed
• 2 large crowns of broccoli
• 1 cup rice (long grain or even minute rice)
• 2% shredded cheese OR parmesan (to lightly top)
• olive oil
• sea salt
• pepper

***add additional spices to flavor if desired, perfect dish to experiment with ;) This is the plain n simple version, perfect if you have picky eaters ;) You can also leave the cheese off or add more if desired. I just lightly sprinkle half a cup. OR if I'm using parmesan just enough to lightly cover.

 

1. Heat large non stick skillet on med-high heat, add olive oil (1-2 tablespoons)
2. Add chicken, salt and pepper & cook through until golden brown (stirring occasionaly)
3. IF you want your broccoli to be on the softer side, steam for 2-3 minutes before adding to chicken
4. Follow package instructions to cook your rice
5. Add broccoli and rice to chicken and stir lightly (turn burner down to low)
6. Top with your choice of cheese, melt and serve!
