Cheesy Chicken, Rice, and Broccoli Bowl

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, season the chicken with a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning.
- Add a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot sauce to the bowl.
- Mix well to ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings and sauce.
Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Prepare the Rice:
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to the package instructions. For minute rice, this usually means bringing 2 cups of water to a boil, adding 2 cups of rice, covering, and letting it stand off the heat for 5 minutes.
Steam the Broccoli:
- Steam the bag of broccoli florets in the microwave according to the package instructions. This usually involves placing the bag in the microwave and cooking on high for 4-5 minutes.
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes.
- Place the cheese cubes in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Add a couple of splashes of milk to the bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then microwave for an additional minute. Stir until smooth.

Assemble the Dish:
- Start by plating the rice as the base.
- Add a layer of steamed broccoli on top of the rice.
- Place the cooked chicken pieces over the broccoli.
- Pour the melted cheese sauce generously over the entire dish.
- Sprinkle with additional pepper if desired (be cautious as it can come out quickly!).

Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while hot. This dish makes enough for dinner with leftovers for lunch the next day. Enjoy your comforting and delicious meal!
