Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peachy Chicken and Broccoli Rice.
Step 1
To start your delicious peachy chicken and broccoli dish, grab a medium pot and combine uncooked rice with 2 cups of water.
Step 2
Bring it to a lively boil, then cover the pot and lower the heat to let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
This will give you perfectly tender rice as the water absorbs.
Step 4
While the rice is cooking, heat a splash of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chicken breasts and let them sizzle for around 8 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Don’t forget to sprinkle some salt and pepper for flavor! Once the chicken is ready, take it out of the skillet and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 7
Now, in that same skillet, toss in the diced peaches along with their syrup.
Step 8
Let them cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup reduces and thickens to a lovely glaze.
Step 9
Meanwhile, for a quick side, place frozen broccoli florets in a microwave-safe dish, add 2 tablespoons of boiling water, cover it up, and microwave on High for 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender and vibrant.
Step 10
Once everything is ready, return the chicken to the skillet with the peaches, add the cooked broccoli, and give it a good mix.
Step 11
Let it all cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 12
Finally, serve this delightful peachy chicken and broccoli mixture over your fluffy rice, and enjoy a meal that’s not just tasty but also a feast for the eyes!.
