One Pan Lime Chicken & Broccoli Rice
Are you a fan of broccoli? It used to be one of those things that my mom had to drown in cheese sauce in order for me to eat it as a child. I absolutely did not like it. It’s funny how things you didn’t care for as a child you come to love as a adult. I love broccoli and I’m always adding it to meals. This Chicken Broccoli Rice has a hint of garlic and lime and is absolutely delicious, and so simple to make.
One pot meals Like my Creamy Tortellini and Sausage, or my Pizza Pasta, are so easy to throw together, especially on busy weeknights. I love that they are quick and simple and that it leaves me with only one dish to clean!

The recipe has disappeared from the page. Is it possible yo get the recipe back up? I love making this and have done it many times but like to have the recipe to make sure I don’t forget something. Thanks!
Oh no! Let me see if I can find it.
do you think this would taste okay if I made it, froze it and then reheated it? Am looking for ideas for a meal swap.

Do you add cooked rice? Or dry rice?
The rice is added dry. It cooks in the sauce.
