Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Dainty Basmati Rice
  • 2 cups Milk (can be replaced with non-dairy Milk)
  • 2 boneless skinless Chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces (or 2 cups shredded rotisserie Chicken)
  • 4 cups fresh Broccoli florets (frozen broccoli can also be used)
  • 1 yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 2 Peppers, chopped
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and other seasonings to taste

Preparation

1

Make sure to have a preheated oven to 375 °F (ca. 191 degree Celsius). While the oven is heating, cook your rice according to the package instructions

2

In a sauté pan over medium heat, cook your chicken until it's no longer pink in the middle. Once done, remove your chicken and set it aside in an ovenproof casserole dish

3

In the same pan, sauté the onion and peppers until they are soft, and the onion is translucent, add to the casserole dish with the chicken

4

To the casserole dish add the broccoli florets, cooked rice, and seasonings. Stir all these ingredients to combine

5

Add the milk and half the cheddar cheese, giving it a stir to incorporate also

6

Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese over top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and starting to brown
