Cheesy Chicken and Veggie Rice! Having trouble getting your kids or even your husband to eat their veggies?
Never fear, this recipe will change everything! I have been hearing all about veggie rice but I kept dismissing it. I took the big plunge and used it in this Cheesy Chicken and Veggie Rice recipe and absolutely loved it.
My local grocery store had a pack of a mix veggie rice in the produce section but this would work with any kind of veggie rice. You make your own with your food processor or you can find it in the frozen section with all the other veggies. This recipe will take less than 15 minutes to make and you only use one pan! That’s a mom win!
