This recipe for Creamy Rice with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Broccoli is a delicious meal that can be made in 10 minutes or less!
Have you ever made a recipe that you really love but it takes too long to make to have it often? Â 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. Â Veetee rices are already cooked and only take 2 minutes to heat in your microwave. Â 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. Â Mix in the broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes and your done!
I love this meal for a quick lunch! Â You can also mix in leftover chicken breast if you have some!

- 1 package VeeTee Rice in Rice Pilaf flavor
- 1/2 Cup broccoli florets cut small
- 1/2 Cup julienne cut sun-dried tomatoes drained

- While the broccoli is steaming, place the sun-dried tomatoes on a paper towel to get out as much oil as possible. Add the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese to a medium mixing bowl.
- Once the broccoli is done cooking, microwave the VeeTee Rice for 2 minutes. Add the cooked rice, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes to the bowl with the cheese. Stir to combine and serve.
