As the lack of sleep from having a baby sets in, I try to find things to make that will last through the next day so I can skip a day of cooking. This is one of those wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started out with a store-bought rotisserie chicken, but couldn’t think of a side to make. As I threw some rice in a pot I figured I could just mix the chicken in. Since we have been trying to get back to having some more greens, I added some broccoli as well. Herein lies the bowl that resulted. <\/p>\n\n\n

This is a 30 minute chicken broccoli and rice recipe that makes enough for great quick-reheat lunch leftovers. To keep it easy, buy an already cooked rotisserie chicken from the store. Cook the broccoli while the rice is cooking. I typically use one that is original or Italian seasoned for this recipe. To reheat, microwave 1 bowl serving for 2-3 minutes, stir halfway. <\/p>
