Ingredients

• 2 pouch (8.8 oz) Eat Regal Broccoli & Cheddar Flavored Rice
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 2 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped small
• 2/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
• 2/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (plus extra for topping)
• 2/4 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Optional protein add-in: ½ cup cooked chicken breast, diced

Instructions

1: Sauté the Broccoli

Heat the butter or olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the small broccoli florets (and diced chicken if using). Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes slightly tender.

2: Season and Mix

Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly.

3: Add the Rice & Liquid

Gently squeeze the pouch of Eat Regal Broccoli & Cheddar Flavored Rice to separate the grains, then tear it open. Add the ready-to-eat rice directly into the skillet. Pour in the heavy cream (or milk) and stir gently to combine all ingredients.

4: Make It Cheesy

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the rice mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt into a wonderfully gooey, savory layer and letting the rice heat through fully.

5: Serve Hot

Remove from heat, garnish with an extra pinch of cheese or black pepper if desired, and serve straight from the skillet for a comforting, hassle-free meal!
