Got three ingredients and no plan?
Recipe Genius can turn chicken, rice, broccoli, and whatever else you have into dinner ideas.
Fast answer
With chicken, rice, and broccoli, you can make a rice bowl, cheesy casserole, stir-fry, fried rice, soup, burrito bowl, or meal prep containers. The sauce decides the direction.
1. Teriyaki chicken rice bowls
Cook chicken pieces, steam broccoli, and serve over rice with teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, and scallions.
2. Cheesy chicken broccoli rice casserole
Mix cooked chicken, rice, broccoli, cheese, and a creamy sauce. Bake until bubbling. It is comfort food that uses boring ingredients well.
3. Chicken fried rice
Use cold rice if possible. Scramble eggs, add chicken and broccoli, then stir in rice with soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil.
Sauces that change the meal
- Teriyaki for rice bowls
- Buffalo sauce and ranch for a spicy bowl
- Pesto and parmesan for a pasta-style rice dish
- Curry sauce for a warm, saucy dinner
- Salsa and lime for burrito bowls
Meal prep version
Portion rice, chicken, and broccoli into containers, then keep sauce separate until serving so the broccoli does not get sad and soggy.
