I was panicking in my kitchen, trying to figure out a side dish and this is what I came up with. Don't be intimidated by the cook time, just start it first on the back burner and cook your other stuff while it sits. I made it alongside "zesty lemon rosemary chicken" by Tefnut. You should check that out. It was delicious and healthy.

Steps

40 mins

1

Put chicken stock and broccoli in medium pan, turn heat to medium low and allow the broccoli to thaw, but don't let the stock boil.
2

Add cream cheese and stir until mostly combined. Try not to over stir so your broccoli doesn't get mushy. The trick is not letting the stock get hot enough to boil... Yet.
3

Add slices of cheese reserving 3-4 for later. You can also use shredded if that floats your boat.
4

Add salt, pepper, minced onions. Stir to combine and crank the heat up to bring to a boil.
5

Add rice to boiling mixture, stir. add reserved cheese slices to top (do not stir!) And cover with a tight lid. Bring heat down to low and allow to simmer for ten minutes. Turn off heat and let it sit, undisturbed for 20 more minutes and you're done! You can mix it all together if you like, but I like the melted cheese on top because it's kind of like a casserole.
