Thyme

Oregano

Salt and pepper

Heat olive oil and butter in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven.

Pour the milk in slowly while whisking continuously till the sauce thickens. Pour in the broth, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring this to boil and then turn it down to medium low and cover and cook for 15-20 minutes till the rice is almost cooked.

Add the broccoli and gently stir it around. Cover again and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cheese and mix it up. Top with the remaining cheese and cover the lid.

Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes.

Add garlic, thyme, oregano, sage, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper.

Add a splash of broth to deglaze the pan and scrape the yummy bits off the bottom.

Add broccoli, chickpeas, rice, remaining vegetable broth, cream, cheddar, Parmesan, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper.

Bring to a gentle boil over medium high heat, stirring every couple minutes so that the rice doesn't stick to the pan. Once it's boiling, give it a good stir.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove cover, give it a good stir so the rice can cook evenly.

Then cover and cook for another 6-8 minutes until rice is cooked through.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and enjoy!

I have no doubt that you're going to love this chickpeas and rice as much as my family did! My daughter will eat broccoli with reckless abandon so this is one of her favorite meals!!

Such a great recipe! I always want chicken and rice for dinner but my partner tries to get us to eat more plant-based meals so this was a great compromise. Leftovers were great the next day as well!

We have been staring at these pictures for the last couple minutes.  This looks so good.  We plan to make it later this week.  Yay one pot meals.

Very tasty and filling! I’m always looking for one pot vegetarian meal ideas and this definitely was a winner, will be making again.

Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

rice

chicken breasts

Italian seasoning

olive oil

chicken stock

unsalted butter

onion

garlic (minced)

mustard powder

cayenne pepper

cheddar cheese (fresh grated)

Salt n pepper

Clean chicken breast, pat it dry with kitchen paper towel. Cut into small bite size pieces. To the chicken add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper, Italian seasoning and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.

Heat olive oil in a pan. Saute chicken pieces until seared on all sides. Don’t completely cook the chicken pieces. Remove seared chicken pieces from the pan into a separate bowl.

Into the same pan add chicken stock (use vegetable stock vegetarian option). Add rice into the boiling water. Reduce flame to low, cover the pan with lid and cook rice until done for about 10-12 minutes(time may vary depending on the pot your use and the type of rice.) Once rice is cooked, remove it into a bowl.Jo’s Tip: DO NOT USE MINUTE RICE FOR THIS RECIPE!

Rinse broccoli under tap water. Chop into small bite sized pieces. Boil broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes. You want it broccoli to still have a crunch. Don’t cook the broccoli through. Using slotted spatula, transfer immediately half cooked broccoli into a bowl.

Prep:

Note – skip this step if you are using canned soup in your dish.

Melt butter in a pan. Saute yellow onions until tender.

Add minced garlic and stir for a minute.

Next add flour, dry mustard powder, a pinch of salt and pepper, and remaining cayenne pepper.

Reduce flame to medium low. Keep stirring to cook the flour mix. Make sure you don’t brown or burn the flour.

Slowly pour milk into the flour onion mix while whisking constantly. Pour all the milk and keep stirring. Cook the sauce for few minutes on low flames.

Add cream cheese and half of freshly grated cheddar cheese to the sauce mix. Whisk continuing to cook on low flame until cheese is melted and blended through.

Make The Sauce:

In a large bowl gently stir half cooked broccoli, sautéed chicken, hot cooked rice and cheese sauce until combined. Transfer the mix into a greased ceramic or oven proof glass casserole or baking dish. Spread evenly.

Sprinkle remaining grated cheddar cheese on top.

Jo’s Tip: additionally add ritz cracker or bread crumb topping on top of grated cheese.

Ritz cracker topping - combine crushed ritz cracker with melted butter and sprinkle on top of cheese before baking.

Bread crumb topping-toss fresh soft bread crumbs with melted butter, sprinkle it on top just before it goes into the oven.

Cover with aluminium foil (you can bake uncovered. Keep close eye on casserole to ensure cheese does not brown)

Bake in pre-heated oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit for about 20-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Serve and enjoy!

Bake Until Bubbly:

broccoli broccoli

unsalted butter (I used Challenge butter)

extra virgin olive oil

onion (finely diced)

¼ cups long grain white rice (not cooked)

chicken stock (or broth, low sodium)

¼ cups half and half

cheddar cheese (grated)

Parmesan cheese

unsalted butter (melted, I used Challenge butter)

breadcrumbs

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish, set aside.

Cook broccoli by placing in a microwave bowl and covering. Microwave for 3½ to 4 minutes until broccoli is tender and bright green. Do not overcook. (Alternatively, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add broccoli and cook for 4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain thoroughly before adding to recipe.)

In a large deep skillet or dutch oven, melt butter and olive oil together over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Stir in rice and garlic and continue cooking, stirring continuously, for about 1 minute.

Add in the chicken stock, half and half and salt and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender, about 22 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat.

Carefully stir in the cooked broccoli, grated cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese making sure to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Transfer to the prepared baking dish (or, if using an oven safe skillet, consider baking it right in the skillet) and prepare the topping.

In a small bowl, stir to combine the melted butter, Panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the topping over the casserole.

Bake the casserole for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add mushrooms and onions, salt, pepper and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms have browned and the onions have softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer, then sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir to combine the flour completely, cooking for about 1 minute.

Pour the wine into the skillet mixing into the mushrooms and onions, then let the wine reduce for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream and stir. Let the sauce come to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to thicken.
