Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2½-3 cups Broccoli Florets
- 2 Chicken Breasts cut in bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup Rice
- 2½ cups Chicken Broth
- 2 tablespoon Oil
- ½ Onion diced, or 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cloves Garlic minced, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup Nutritional Yeast
Instructions
- Heat oil in a stove top skillet over medium heat.
- Saute onions until softened, then add the chicken to the pan.
- Brown the chicken and add the minced garlic stirring frequently so not to burn the garlic.
- Add uncooked rice, season with salt and saute for a few minutes.
- Add the broth to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir well.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cover.
- Cook the rice & chicken mixture for about 10-12 minutes, then add the broccoli florets. Mix well to combine, then cover.
- Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the broccoli is tender.
- Remove lid and add nutritional yeast. Stir well until combined. If you need to add more liquid after the rice is done cooking, stir in ¼ cup more broth or unsweetened plant-based milk until you get a creamy consistancy. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
Notes
If using dried onion powder and garlic instead of fresh, add the seasonings when you add the rice, salt and broth to the chicken.
