Cheesy Jasmine Rice with Broccoli

1. 1

   Put chicken stock and broccoli in medium pan, turn heat to medium low and allow the broccoli to thaw, but don't let the stock boil.

2. 2

   Add cream cheese and stir until mostly combined.

3. 3

   Try not to over stir so your broccoli doesn't get mushy.

4. 4

   The trick is not letting the stock get hot enough to boil...

5. 5

   Yet.

6. 6

   Add slices of cheese reserving 3-4 for later.

7. 7

   You can also use shredded if that floats your boat.

8. 8

   Add salt, pepper, minced onions.

9. 9

   Stir to combine and crank the heat up to bring to a boil.

10. 10

    Add rice to boiling mixture, stir.

11. 11

    add reserved cheese slices to top (do not stir!)

12. 12

    And cover with a tight lid.

13. 13

    Bring heat down to low and allow to simmer for ten minutes.

14. 14

    Turn off heat and let it sit, undisturbed for 20 more minutes and you're done!

15. 15

    You can mix it all together if you like, but I like the melted cheese on top because it's kind of like a casserole.
