Recipe originally posted on my other blog, BigBearsWife.com.
Once again, I’ve got a fantastic, tasty and super easy recipe to share with y’all today.
So since there is so much going on, I’ve been trying to relax and take it easy. However, y’all know that even when it’s time for me to relax that I still want to be in the kitchen a little and cook up dinner for Thomas and I! This is a super easy recipe using some of our favorite rice!
Also, y’all know we’re a chicken loving family, so of course this dinner recipe has chicken.
When we first got married, I use to serve these packets of creamy chicken rice as a side dish with grilled chicken and corn on the cob but lately I’ve been working them into the entire meal instead of just serving them as a side dish.
This recipe is something that’s easy to throw together and something my entire family loves but it’s also a recipe with easy to grab ingredients!
I’ve made this recipe twice this week already! I just get Thomas to pick up the ingredients on his way home from work and then I can get dinner on the table in no time!
So how do you make this super tasty, easy recipe? Well it’s pretty simple!
First you’re going to heat oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, stirring frequently, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 4 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of cook time.
Remove and set aside.
Cook yellow pepper, broccoli, and Knorr® Rice Sides™ – Creamy Chicken flavor in same skillet according to package directions.
Stir in chicken, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons basil. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 tablespoon basil.
After that you just serve this easy dinner to your family and you’re all done!
See, I told you it was a super easy dinner recipe. Heck, it’s not only an easy dinner recipe but I can see myself making this for lunch too!
So get into the kitchen, make this simple dinner recipe and maybe even get the family to help out! With just a little time in the kitchen you can get a great meal on the table and still have lots of time to spend with the family in the evening!
