Cheesy, Broccoli, Chicken all dished up together in this 30 minute low carb dinner needs to be put on your weekly menu plan! Save this Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Skillet recipe and make it for your family this week!

One of the things that I really love about our new house is that fact that I have space for deep freezer again. Which means that I am once again free to buy meat and seafood in bulk when it goes on sale. It also means that I’ve got stock piles of frozen vegetables now and I love it.

Chicken and cauliflower rice are in abundance on my freezer shelves so the other night when I was looking for dinner ideas, I stumbled across a Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Skillet from the blog, “The Girl That Ate Everything”. I’m all about cheesy chicken dishes so I knew this was what I wanted to make for dinner.

As much as I absolutely love rice, it doesn’t always love me and I try to substitute cauliflower ice for regular white rice when I can. So I changed up the recipe just a bit and made this cheesy chicken skillet a delicious low carb dinner that all three if us loved!

I don’t always make low carb dinners but oh I just feel so much better when I eat low carb. I love carbs but they don’t always make me feel the best.

This dinner though, it tasted great and I felt good after I ate! That makes this a WIN WIN in my book.

If you want to make this with regualr rice, check out Christy’s recipe here because she gives all the directons for making it with white rice on her blog!
