Ingredients

  • 2 (3 1/2-ounce) bags boil-in-bag brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 8 ounces presliced button mushrooms
  • 8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 3/4 cup)

Instructions

  5. Stir milk mixture into chicken mixture in skillet.
  6. Cook 2 minutes or until bubbly and thick, stirring frequently.
  7. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, rice, and broccoli. Sprinkle with cheese.
  8. Broil 1 minute or until cheese melts and just begins to brown.
  9. Riff: Try ground beef in place of the chicken.
  10. Riff: Not a fan of broccoli? Try cauliflower, spinach, green peas, carrots, or green beans instead.
  11. Riff: In place of rice, use 3 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup uncooked).
