Broccoli Rice (Stovetop version)

This is Brodey's number one most requested meal. It's his all time favorite! (He'll eat anything that contains rice lol) My mom used to make this all the time! It's probably the fastest meal I can make. Start to finish 15-20 minutes.

Broccoli Rice

  • Broccoli in the bag you can steam OR fresh broccoli
  • Chicken, cubed
  • Velveeta Cheese
  •  White Minute Rice
  • One can of Cream of Celery Soup OR Cream of Chicken(make sure it is for cooking and not ready to eat)
  • About 1/2 cup of chopped onions (totally optional)
  • Seasonings: onion powder, garlic powder, pepper
Heat butter/margarine, seasonings, and cook chicken and onions in a large skillet (at least 10 inches better if it's 12). While your chicken is cooking, boil two servings of rice according to package directions and steam broccoli. 
Once chicken is cooked, add the can of Cream of Celery soup. Also add about three or four half inch chick slices of velveeta cheese to mixture. Cover and cook on low to melt and combine cheese.
Slowly add broccoli to mixture and combine until you have enough broccoli added, but it's not too dry. (Broccoli tends to absorb liquids) If the rice is done, slowly add it to the dish until it's throughout, but not super dry. You might have some rice leftover, but that's ok! You can add more, but you can't take it away!
Add a few more slices of Velveeta and cook on low, covered, until the Velveeta is melted and combined! Add more Velveeta and seasoning to taste! Usually I know I've added enough when the color is very slightly yellow!
We love this with hot rolls and a salad!
