Week 5: Recipe #3--Creamy Chicken and Cheddar Rice

I like this recipe because it's another time I can get broccoli into Lily.  It's pretty easy to make, and you can substitute the white rice for brown (make sure it's also instant).  This recipe is one of many I have made from the Kraft Foods website (see link below).  I serve this recipe with fruit and a good bread.

You'll Need:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 
• 1 soup can of milk
• 1 1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
• 2 cups chopped, fresh broccoli
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:

1. Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray.  Add chicken; cover.  Cook 5 minutes or until cooked through.  Sprinkle with garlic powder.
2. Add soup and milk.  Bring to boil.  Stir in rice and broccoli; cover.  Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes or until rice is tender.
3. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese; sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
