Oñe-Pañ Cheesy Chickeñ, Broccoli, añd Rice
I origiñally posted this iñ 2014 but I wañted to share it agaiñ siñce we make it for our family at least oñce every two weeks!

ONE-PAN DINNERS
I’m a little late to the oñe-pot, oñe-pañ party. I doñ’t kñow why I’ve beeñ resistañt but with food treñds, I’m either really early or really late to try them.
I thiñk I was the last persoñ iñ the world to eat quiñoa.
Añd cookie butter…, just had my first taste ever yesterday.
I thiñk I was purposely tryiñg to avoid it because it’s oñe of those thiñgs that I kñew I would fiñd myself elbow deep iñ before realiziñg the whole jar was goñe.
Move over Nutella, cookie butter is the hot ticket iñ towñ ñow (thañks Heather for buyiñg me a jar).
Añywhoooo, back to oñe-pañ dishes. I feel ño reasoñ to ever make añythiñg iñ more thañ oñe pañ ñow.

Which is why I made this Oñe-Pañ Mexicañ Rice Chickeñ yesterday. I loathe dishes. This is a treñd I plañ oñ hañgiñg oñ to for a while.

EASY DINNERS
I wasñ’t plaññiñg oñ shariñg this dish, which is why there areñ’t añy step-by-step shots. But I have your back y’all. Easy diññers are hard to come by so I had to share.

I made it purely out of ñecessity. I was tryiñg to keep my house cleañ for 12 hours before I had to host Buñko añd looked up oñe-pañ dishes so that I could keep my kitcheñ cleañ añd still feed my family.

After I made it, it looked so pretty so I sñapped a couple of pictures just iñ case. I fouñd this recipe over at No. 2 Peñcil. She has a toñ of oñe-pot recipes that you guys should check out.
Broccoli is oñe of the few vegetables my whole family loves so I kñew it would be a hit añd it was. If broccoli isñ’t a vegetable your family loves you cañ use spiñach or asparagus.

This is the kiñd of recipe that sits iñ your back pocket wheñ it’s 5 pm añd you doñ’t kñow what you’re makiñg for diññer.
