Cheesy Chicken Bacon Broccoli and Rice
You guys may have seen me Instagram about this one a few weeks ago, and I am back now to share the recipe! And oh gosh, you guys. This is a good one. This hearty one-dish skillet dinner will warm you right up on a cold winter’s night. Here’s what you’ll need: Bacon — I chose to go with Turkey bacon this time. Get started by dicing the bacon. Add the bacon to a very large skillet or dutch oven and turn the heat to medium-high. Meanwhile, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Don’t let this happen to you. NOTE: Now would be a good time to start the rice. When the bacon is crisp, use a slotted spoon to remove to a plate. Since I used turkey bacon, I didn’t have enough grease left in the pan to cook the chicken, so I added a little butter and olive oil, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook on one side for two and a half minutes. Flip the chicken to the other side (as best you can) and cook for another two and half minutes. Easy. 1. 2. 3. 4.
