Have you ever made a recipe that you really love but it takes too long to make to have it often?  That situation is exactly what inspired me to make this recipe for Creamy Rice with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Broccoli!

This recipe uses Veetee Rice Pilaf as the base.  Veetee rices are already cooked and only take 2 minutes to heat in your microwave.  You can also stir-fry them, but for this recipe I use the microwave method.

I use the Veetee Rice Pilaf flavor because it’s made with ingredients very similar to what I use in the recipe that is the inspiration for this one! Ingredients like chicken stock, garlic, and onion.

How To Make Creamy Rice with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Broccoli

Making this recipe is very easy!  First chop your broccoli into small pieces and steam it.  I use the microwave to steam mine since it’s much quicker, but you can always steam it in a pot as well.

While your broccoli is steaming, drain the sun-dried tomatoes on a paper towel and place the cheese in a medium mixing bowl.

Once the broccoli is done, cook your rice and then add it to the bowl with the cheese.  Mix in the broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes and your done!

I love this meal for a quick lunch!  You can also mix in leftover chicken breast if you have some!
