- Add in the broccoli cover and continue to let simmer stirring occasionally until the rice is tender.
- Stir in the milk and 1 cup of the cheese sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Place in the oven uncovered to bake for 15 minutes. NOTE: If your dutch oven/pot isn’t oven safe transfer to aa oven safe casserole dish and bake it in there. Enjoy!
What if I use minute rice? How would that affect the amount of chicken broth?
