Craving comfort in a bowl? This Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Rice Bowl is the ultimate cozy dinner! 

Tender chicken, perfectly steamed broccoli, and creamy, savory sauce all served over fluffy rice — it’s the definition of comfort food.

Pair it with Zina’s Kale & Quinoa Bistro Salad for a balanced and delicious meal!

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant, then pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Stir in Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth. Return chicken to the pan and add broccoli. Cook until broccoli is tender and the sauce thickens.
4. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.

Chef’s Tip:

Make it extra indulgent by adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of chili flakes for a burst of flavor!
