This delicious Syn Free Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Rice in cooked all in one pan and ready in 20 minutes. Perfect comfort food for the entire family to enjoy.

Don’t you just love Costco? We go through heaps of fresh fruit and vegetables each week and so I love that Costco sells bigger packs of the fresh vegetables with love for a reasonable price. Especially in the winter time, when all the amazing fresh fruit and vegetable stalls that are scattered all around the countryside in South Western Ontario and that I get used to in the Summer are no longer available.

This week I grabbed a big bag of broccoli. I wanted quick easy meals this week, as new I was on a busy schedule, so had already planned to make this delicious Ginger Beef and Broccoli with some steamed brown rice.

With the rest of the broccoli, I combined it with some fresh diced chicken breast for this amazing Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Rice. Super easy to make and the kids just loved it.

I don’t know what it is, but broccoli is an amazing vegetable for combining with cheddar, the two just go amazingly well together. Like in this Broccoli Cheddar Toasts or Broccoli Cheddar Hash Browns which are seriously moreish.

So it seemed like a perfect addition to this Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Rice and I was right. A complete meal in a bowl, nothing complicated or fussy.

Broccoli counts for your speed foods too in this dish, so we don’t need to worry about adding any extra veg to this Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Rice. It certainly isn’t a crime to add some more vegetables of choice to your plate though, if you want to up those speed foods even further.
