Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese block, cubed
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and smooth.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through.
Add the cooked white rice to the skillet and mix until everything is well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place them on top of the cheese and rice mixture in the skillet.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
