We use what we have! Used fresh chicken that I cooked in the air fryer first cuz that’s what I had and used 2 cups of frozen California mix veggies. Family of five over here, so upped the rice to 1.5 cups and the liquid to 2.5. Kids loved it! Served it with some homemade biscuits! This is one for the vault! Thanks!

Only added some bouillon(for our kids, picky eater) but should have seasoned it more.

Used canned chicken bc that’s all we had and needed protein. Very good. Will add more veggies next time and maybe see if I can get away with a little less butter or cheese

My picky 2 year old devoured this! And my husband and I loved it, too. Will definitely make again!

Stephanie Marino· last year

This was so delicious! My husband and I love it! We did frozen cauliflower and broccoli mix. This will be my third time making it. It warms up so nice for leftovers as well. My husband loves it as a late night snack!

I’ve made this 3 times now and I share it with everyone I know. I’ve been using couscous instead of rice, broccoli instead of cauliflower, and Parmesan instead of cheddar! It’s sooooooo good.

I make this every week! So easy and delicious. I used mixed frozen veggies and it doesn’t change anything. 10/10

This was so tasty that my husband didn't even put any ketchup on it! That's saying something because he pours a massive amount onto all of his food. I love how flexible the recipe is based on what you have at home.

I did a few modifications. Half water half stock, no mustard, and fresh broccoli instead of frozen cauliflower. Definitely making again, will likely try different combos of seasoning/veggies. Not very much left over (two adults ate - 4 year old only tried a few bites but said he liked it!)

Courtney Lowe· last year

We use what we have so I ended up using frozen spinach and peas instead of cauliflower, and marble cheese because it's all we have. 10/10

I will definitely make this again! So easy and full of flavor. It was a little bit salty for me so the only changes I would make next time is to decrease the butter to 2 T unsalted butter and use 3/4 cup broth and 1/4 cup water to cut down on the salt a little bit.

We added 3 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar to add some interest, more soy sauce probably would have worked as well. We also did less cauliflower more rice.

I used parboiled brown rice and carrots instead of cauliflower and did half chicken broth half water. I added fresh garlic as well. Yummy, no leftovers.

Attempted brown rice. Do not recommend. Took forever to cook. Then tried quinoa ( I don't have parboiled rice!) And it didn't really cook the quinoa. My husband liked the brown rice version. Would definitely try and get parboiled rice next time or try with left over cooked rice.

The only thing I would do differently is stream the frozen broccoli for a little bit. Mine was still a bit hard but other than that it was amazing.

I doubled the rice mixture but used cauli rice and only used 2 1/2 cups. Family really liked it. Hubby could taste the cauliflower but my kids ate cauliflower so I call it a win! I made some premade chicken from Costco on the side in the air fryer to go with. I thought it was great!!

Didn’t have enough cauliflower rice so added broccoli as well and a handful of frozen peas. Also swapped cheddar for manchego (all I had left from last Costco run).
