Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Over Rice

Some ingredients just work together. You know, like peanut butter and jelly, hot dogs and ketchup, tomato and basil, or cheese and broccoli. This combination of ingredients has always been a 'kid pleaser' in my house. The kids love the cheesy sauce and they even like the broccoli! I've used these ingredients to fill bread rolls, crescents, as a casserole with pasta, and over rice.









Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts (depending on size) chopped into 1" pieces
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cups broccoli florets, chopped
1 cup Velveeta cut into cubes
1 can Cheddar Cheese soup
1/2 cup milk



Directions:
Heat 1-2 Tbs oil in a large skillet. Add pieces of chicken and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook and stir the chicken just until pink is cooked out. Press garlic into the pan and stir. Add diced bell pepper and stir. Allow to simmer for a couple minutes until the peppers just begin to soften.







Add broccoli pieces and stir.











Make a well in center of pan by pushing all ingredients to the sides. Add Velveeta and allow to melt a bit.










Add can of soup and stir cheese into the rest of the ingredients. Add milk and stir to combine. Lower heat and cover with a lid. Simmer on low 5 mins. Serve hot over rice. Top with shredded if desired.
