Cheesy Broccoli Rice

If you love creamy, cheesy deliciousness – you and your WHOLE family will be obsessed with this toddler friendly recipe! 

For more protein, I added roasted chicken for my baby one day and then ground turkey another day, just because I had extra.

I had it for lunch and dinner on various days throughout the week and I can tell you that it reheats very well. If you have time, reheat in the oven topped with a sprinkle of more cheese for about 15 minutes and it’ll be perfect. If you’re more tight on time, like I am most of the time, heat in microwave in a microwave-safe dish for one minute! 

You can make a big batch and freeze in cup portions for up to 3 months.
