Preparation:
Cooking Part 
- How you cook your broccoli is up to you.  I buy the large frozen bag of "Bird's Eye Broccoli Florets" and use this for my recipes.  I usually steam the broccoli in my risotto/rice cooker as my rice cooks underneath.  But you can also cook it on the stove-top or microwave.

Dish Preparation Part 
-In a microwaveable bowl, combine 4 oz. chicken, 1/4 c cheese sauce, 1/2 c rice, and 1 c broccoli.  Using rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix thoroughly.
- Microwave for 2-1/2 minutes, stir, and place on dinner plate. 
- Garnish with 2 tbsp cheddar cheese and a dash of paprika. 
- Follow the same instructions for the second dish.


Tips:
- Making this recipe is unlimited.  You can combine to make a casserole, but in order to arrive at the proper nutritional goals, I made this dish as a single-serve recipe.

Use:
-Dinner parties, Meals for two, Casseroles, etc.
