Creamy Chicken and Rice with Broccoli

Creamy Chicken and Rice with Broccoli

My family loves this dish! It is comfort food, but with some healthier ingredients. I love that is is simple and can easily be made from your food storage reserves.

Recipe

1 pound organic or naturally raised chicken, chopped

1 package of organic broccoli (I like the frozen from Costco), chopped

2 packages of organic condensed cream of chicken soup

1 quart of organic chicken stock or broth

2 cups rice (white or brown)

1/2 to 1 cup sour cream

Saute the chicken in a large pan with avocado oil or butter. Add the chopped broccoli, condensed chicken soup, chicken stock and rice. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat until the rice absorbs the liquid. If using white rice you made need to take the lid off at the end to help some of the excess fluid cook off. Stir in the sour cream, add sea salt and pepper for taste and serve warm.
