Notes
Tips for this recipe:
1. Don’t cut up your broccoli too small. The broccoli will break up during cooking and stirring. If you cut the broccoli too small it will basically disintegrate. If you prefer larger pieces of broccoli, wait to add it until you remove the lid at the end. The heat from the rice and chicken mixture will cook the broccoli.
2. Brown your chicken before adding to the pot. I did not do this. The kids prefer the smoother texture of the chicken when it is not browned. Browning the chicken will add a little extra flavor and will make for a nicer presentation.
3. Super Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli with Rice tastes better than it looks. Trust me! It’s gooey cheesy goodness in all its glory!
