Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box broccoli and cheese flavored rice mix (I use Uncle Ben's au Gratin)
2 cups boiling water
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 lb
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups frozen broccoli
1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and boil water.
  • In a 13x9 casserole dish, combine rice and contents of seasoning packet; add boiling water to dish and mix well.
  • Add chicken, sprinkle with garlic powder; cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and cheese; cover and continue to bake for another 8-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your dish. Some good choices for this recipe include broccoli, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season the dish to taste. Use salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your own taste.

Conclusion:

Chicken broccoli rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your own taste.
