Meals with chicken, rice, and broccoli
Chicken, rice, and broccoli is a complete meal in three ingredients. Protein, carbs, vegetables — done.
The trick is in the seasoning. Here's how to make it actually taste good.
Easy meal ideas
Stir-fry bowl
Stir-fry chicken and broccoli with garlic and soy sauce, serve over steamed rice.
One-pan bake
Toss everything with oil and seasoning on a sheet pan, roast at 400°F for 25 min.
Teriyaki bowl
Cook chicken in a teriyaki-style sauce (soy, sugar, garlic), serve over rice with steamed broccoli.
Chicken broccoli soup with rice
Simmer chicken and broccoli in broth, add rice, cook until everything is tender.
How to stretch these ingredients
- Season everything well — this combination is bland if under-seasoned
- Soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil is the simplest and best sauce
- A squeeze of lemon over roasted versions makes a big difference
- Add chili flakes or sriracha if you want heat
- Parmesan works surprisingly well over the roasted sheet-pan version
