Something happened here is Western PA over the past few days. All of a sudden it’s fall. Chilly, rainy and just begging for some comfort food. So I whipped up this one pot wonder of cheesy chicken, broccoli and rice in one simple skillet.
I love single skillet dishes because they combine everything into one easy recipe with very little cleanup. If there are leftovers, I leave it in the same skillet, cover it with the lid and toss it in the refrigerator.
You can pull this one out the next day, pop it back on the stove and heat it back up. One pan to clean for two days worth of yumminess. Can’t beat that!
This one turns out so creamy and delicious. The rice and chicken are cooked perfectly with a very flavorful cheesy sauce to bring it all together. Satisfying and comforting all in one!
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup rice (I used Basmati)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets (I used frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (I used colby jack)
Directions:
- Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium high.
- Add onion and chicken. Cook until chicken starts to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the raw rice, soup and broth. Mix well. Cover with lid and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, continue cooking until rice is cooked through, stirring often.
- Stir in the cheese and frozen broccoli. Cover and continue cooking until broccoli is cooked to your liking.
- Remove from heat, add a sprinkle of cheese to the top. Cover with lid and let rest for a minute or two until the cheese melts. Enjoy!
