Cheesy Chicken Bacon Broccoli And Rice Recipes

CHEESY, CHICKEN, BACON, BROCCOLI AND RICE

Steps:

• Add the diced bacon to a very large skillet or Dutch oven and turn heat to medium high. Cook the bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season the diced chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper. When the bacon is crisp, use a slotted spoon to remove to a plate. Remove the bacon grease. Add butter and olive oil to the skillet. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for five minutes, flipping once halfway through. Remove the chicken to the plate with the bacon.
• Add the rice, water, and salt to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 14 minutes. When done, remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, add the onion and broccoli to the skillet where you cooked the bacon and chicken. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until broccoli is tender and onions are brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add in minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Top with tomatoes, rice, chicken and bacon and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan and whisk in the flour until just combined. Add in the chicken broth and stir well. Increase heat to high and cook until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and add in cheese and salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted, then pour in the skillet with the chicken and rice. Stir to combine and serve.

ONE-POT CHEESY BACON RANCH PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper; cook in hot bacon drippings over medium-high heat, stirring often, until chicken is golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be fully cooked at this point.
• Add shallot and garlic to drippings and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in water and milk; use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in pasta and ranch dressing mix. Bring to a boil and simmer for 6 minutes.
• Return chicken to the Dutch oven and add broccoli. Cook until pasta is tender and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese and sour cream to combine. Crumble cooked bacon over the top and serve hot.

CHEESY CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, stir, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Transfer rice to a casserole dish and mix with chicken and broccoli.
• Combine condensed soup, milk, bread crumbs, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl; mix until well combined. Add to the casserole dish along with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; mix to combine. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
