SKILLET CHEESY CHICKEN AND VEGGIE "RICE" 5 Smart Points

Skillet Cheesy Chicken and Veggie "Rice" made with riced broccoli and cauliflower, sauteed chicken and cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed small
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 cup chopped onion
12 ounces riced cauliflower and broccoli (I used Green Giant Riced Cauliflower Broccoli)
1/3 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar

DIRECTIONS:

Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, garlic powder and black pepper, to taste.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. When hot add 1/2 teaspoon oil and add half of the chicken.

Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until no longer pink in the center and browned on the edges. Set aside.

Repeat with remaining chicken.

Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil, onion and garlic and cook over medium heat about 2 minutes, until soft. Add the riced vegetables (frozen), 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook 5 to 6 minutes, until heated through.

Return the chicken to the skillet, top with the cheese and cover.
Cook low heat until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
