@thecravekitchen1: Creamy Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Serves 4–5 Ingredients * 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces * 2 tbsp butter * 1 tbsp olive oil * 1 tsp garlic powder * 1 tsp onion powder * ½ tsp paprika * Salt & pepper * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 2 tbsp all-purpose flour * 2 cups chicken broth * 1 cup heavy cream * 4 oz cream cheese, softened * 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided * 3 cups cooked jasmine or long-grain white rice * 2½ cups broccoli florets, lightly steamed Directions 1. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside. 2. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, then sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute. 3. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, followed by heavy cream. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. 4. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream cheese and 1½ cups cheddar until completely melted. The sauce should be loose, glossy, and very creamy—don’t let it get too thick. 5. Fold in the cooked rice, broccoli, and chicken. If you want it extra saucy like the picture, stir in another ¼–½ cup chicken broth or cream at this point. 6. Transfer to a baking dish or leave in an oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar over the top. 7. Bake at 375°F for 10–15 minutes, just until bubbly and the cheese melts. Don’t overbake—the key is keeping that rice wet and creamy. #CreamyChicken #ChickenAndRice #EasyDinner #ComfortFood #protein
