One pan Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli and Rice

Made this amazing dish last night, I can't believe how good it turned out.

It's perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It's easy to make.

Rice is one of the staple food in the Philippines, We eat it with every meal.

Sometimes we eat it plain, or Fried rice.

I usually just like to eat plain rice and I know my husband get tired of plain rice (since i make him rice all the time)

So i decided to try something different last night and it was really good, I was worried that the rice won't be cooked because I usually cook rice on a rice cooker, Just make sure you put enough Broth and add more if you think it's not done. The broth add a really good flavor on this dish.

I hope you will like it!
