You know those days when you just want to throw everything in a pan and call it dinner? Yeah, that’s exactly how I felt last week. Work was a drag, and I didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I whipped up this cheesy chicken and rice dish that turned out to be a total game-changer.
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar)
1 cup frozen peas
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make It
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add diced onion and cook until soft.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Cook until chicken is no longer pink.
Add rice and chicken broth, then bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in frozen peas and cheese, mix well.
Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve
Serve it straight from the pan, scooping it onto plates for a hearty, cheesy meal everyone will enjoy.
