One-Pan Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice
This One-Pan Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice dish is perfect for a busy weeknight when things are hectic. Only one dish to clean for this satisfying dinner.
I’m a little late to the one-pot, one-pan party. I don’t know why I’ve been resistant but with food trends, I’m either really early or really late to try them.
I think I was the last person in the world to eat quinoa.
And cookie butter…, just had my first taste ever yesterday.
