Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice
Ingredients
  • olive oil or ghee - a little needed in the pot for searing the chicken thighs - use olive oil if you want the dish to be dairy-free.
  • bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs - you can also use boneless/skinless chicken thighs but the flavor is really the best with bone-in, skin-on thighs.
  • kosher salt & pepper - a dash of each is always needed when seasoning meat.
  • garlic & yellow onion - both bring really great flavor to just about any recipe.
  • broccoli florets - the veggie for this dish - option to use frozen broccoli florets but they would likely be a bit more mushy.
  • chicken bone broth - you can use a chicken broth or stock but we highly recommend chicken bone broth because it has so much great flavor!
  • soy sauce - opt for tamari if you want the dish to be gluten-free.
  • long-grain white rice - the perfect rice for this dish - if you use another rice you may need to adjust the cook times.
  • lemon zest - a little acidity to help bring out all the great flavor.
  • shredded sharp cheddar cheese - so much cheesy goodness!! Option to use a dairy-free alternative if that is a concern for you.

  • We highly recommend using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs because they have so much great flavor! You could also use a boneless, skinless chicken thigh or even chicken breasts - if that is what you prefer or have on-hand.
