If you couldn’t tell I am a one pot kind of gal. ย I hate washing dishes! ย Yes, I do have a dishwasher but not everything fits in there and some things just can’t be put in there. ย So, I try to use as few dishes as humanly possible. ย Yes, I do let my kids eat on real plates. ๐Ÿ™‚

This dish is also really easy to prepare. ย Just cut your chicken into small pieces (this also helps to speed up the cooking time) and same with your broccoli, just make sure the pieces aren’t too big. ย I like to make mine bite sized.

Cook the chicken with the onion and garlic until no longer pink. ย Combine the rest of the ingredients in the pan, cover and simmer until the rice is tender. ย Stir in some cheese and sprinkle the rest on top.

And then you’re done with dinner!!! ย P.S. my kids really like this meal! ย There is never any left.
