and join me in my studio kitchen for a quick and a wish by susan today i'm going to do a cheesy chicken broccoli dish and that's a tongue twister for sure anyway this is a very quick and delish chicken recipe and you can use leftover chicken you can use a rotary chicken or you can use canned chicken as long as it's cooked chicken so we're going to get started first we're going to do a half a cup of melted butter so i've got my butter here and i'm going to just cut it into little pieces little cubes here because that will make the melting go a little bit quicker just break that up a glass lid so this is going to go in the microwave for about one minute until the butter is melted in this all depends once again on your microwave wattage so we're going to do this for one minute in the microwave just as melted butter one in that's on high ok so well this butter is melted now tim let me tell you what we're going to put into this cheesy chicken broccoli dish and of course we're going to have broccoli in there so we're going to start with two cups of fresh broccoli now i floured the broccoli you can use frozen if you don't have you know fresh broccoli but i prefer right now to use the fresh broccoli that's two nice soft cheese when it's melted then we're going to do a third cup of sweet peppers and i think these sweet peppers not only are they nice and sweet but they they have a nice color to your recipe you've got your red in your orange and you're yellow and then we're going to do a third of cup of chopped so and the sour wheat gives the a little bit of a crunchy texture to the recipe which is really nice also then we're going to add a packet of soup it's dried onion soup mix it can be onion mushroom or can just be onion but this is going to give you the onion flavor a little bit of so lloyd salt and pepper so all of your spices are right here in this little packet so let's get our melted butter out of the microwave  i've got my melted butter and i'm just going to put the velveeta in here first because you know what it's already hot so why not add that cheese in there which is you know going to help that melting process for the cheese a little bit ok get that in there so now we're going to put our two cups broccoli fresh broccoli flour it's at this in here  this up now we've got these nice sweet peppers little bit of color there boy is that pretty really nice look at that all right now we've got our one third of a cup of so re a little bit of crunchiness to the recipe there we go and let's not forget our packet of soup mix there we go let's give this a good stir ok so we're going to stir this now once again i'm going to cover this with my  we're going to cook this in the microwave on high for three to four minutes and that all depends on your microwave wattage but i think on this one is probably going to go for three minutes and then i'm going to take it out and that's when i'm going to add my chicken and then we're going to cook at once again for another two minutes at seventy percent so right now the vegetable mix is going in the microwave for about three minutes and i usually let it sit for another minute because it continues to steam and we'll be right back ok we're back and this is the vegetable part of the chicken dish that was in the microwave for three to four minutes or so and i would do want to tell you if you ever bring glass out of microwave you definitely need to use  add the two cups of cooked chicken like i said i use wrote history chicken because it's nice and moist this is about two and a half cups it's really depends on you if you want to add more chicken that's fine if you've got you know  a big group because this recipe as is is about four to six servings so if you add more chicken you're going to get a little bit more so we're going to mix this up all that here we go to put this oh wait a minute i forgot some chicken oh my gosh i can't leave any chicken behind ok now this is going to go back into the microwave for two minutes but it's not going to be high it's going to be on seventy percent so i'm to put this back into the mic while that's going to cook i'm going to go ahead to my already made dish since we're in a studio so what we've got here this is what the dish finished dish looks like and i did this mommy rice you can do any kind of rice you want you can put it on a rice you can do a taco shell by itself or you can put some lettuce or you can put the rice in the talkers shell and speaking of rice i'm going to show you a little tip that i have on microwave in rice now i have a recipe on my website for microwaving microwaving rice that takes about fifteen minutes to steam the rice but lots of people like this convenience of the ninety second rice in the pouch which is fine

water and we're talking maybe a teaspoon or more just a little bit then i'm going to cover it with my cover my cucina safe lid because we're going to steam it's almost like the bean in this bag
