I cleaned out my pantry recently and decided to make a meal with some of the items that hadn’t expired yet. We have an overabundance of white rice for some reason, thus, tonight’s meal…
Ingredients:
2 large cans cooked chicken, drained well
1 cup fresh broccoli
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 cup water
1 cup milk
½ tsp salt
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions and set aside
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
3. Add rice and stir to coat in butter
4. Add water, milk and salt then bring to a boil
5. Reduce head to low, add cooked rice, cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally
6. Stir in parmesan cheese, adding a little more milk if needed to make the rice creamier
7. Add in drained chicken
8. Steam broccoli (I use a handy-dandy Tupperware vegetable steamer and I absolutely love it!) for about 4 ½ minutes in the microwave
9. Stir steamed broccoli into rice and chicken
10. Serve and enjoy!
I was hoping to get some leftovers out of this one, but it was too popular!
