2 cups water
4 cups broccoli
1 pkg Rice Pilaf (I used Zatarain’s)
1/4 cup butter, divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch strips
1 t. minced garlic
1/4 t. salt
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 T lemon juice
1/2 t. grated lemon peel, optional
In a large saucepan, combine the water, broccoli, rice mix with contents of seasoning packet and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the chicken, garlic and salt in remaining butter until juices run clear. Add the carrot, lemon juice and lemon peel if desired; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Stir into rice mixture.

I made this dish tonight and it was so good! It was quick and easy to prepare and my 3-year old daughter plowed through her first helping before the prayer was even finished!
