Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ¼ cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original almondmilk
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Bring butter, 3/4 cup Almond Breeze almondmilk, broth, rice, and seasonings to a simmer in a large saucepan. Top with chicken and onion. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.

Step 2
Remove from heat and quickly add broccoli to pot. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

Feel free to use buttery spread in place of the butter and chicken stock instead of broth.
