This is an easy AND quick meal to prepare for Dinner or for meal prepping lunches. I came up with this meal for my husband, Gerald. I cook and meal prep him Lunches for work and this is an easy recipe to make!

Creole Seasoning, YUM!

This recipe only has a few ingredients, actually only has 3 ingredients, plus the seasoning and olive oil.

By using the bags of frozen chicken breast tenderloins you will save a lot of time. Plus, by purchasing the Ben’s Original Ready Rice you will also save more time.

I add Creole seasoning to my chicken and rice, however you can leave this spice out or choose a totally different seasoning.

Can I leave out the broccoli?

Yes, if you do not like broccoli, then simply leave it out of this recipe.

Is chicken & rice keto friendly?

This recipe is not keto friendly, however to make this meal keto you will need to only exchange the rice for a bag of frozen cauliflower rice that you can purchase at your local grocery store. All of the other ingredients of chicken, broccoli, olive oil and seasonings are keto friendly.

What kind of chicken can I add to my chicken and rice?

  • chicken breasts
  • boneless chicken thighs
  • canned chicken breasts
  • rotisserie chicken
  • any leftover chicken
  • frozen all ready cooked grilled chicken that is located in your freezer section of your local grocery store
