Could you use chopped up fresh broccoli and put it in at the beginning, kind of like your chicken broccoli soup recipe? Or would it mess up the rice?

I’d think that would work fine!
I made this for dinner last night, and this recipe is a WINNER! So so good. Fresh-tasting because of the lemon, creamy/risotto-like texture, and so filling!
This was a hit for our entire family, including a 1.5 and 4 year old!
This made it quickly into our “repeat soon” list! Highly recommend!

Yay! Makes me so happy. Thanks for commenting
Can I use frozen chicken breasts? If so does the cooking time change?

thepeachiespoon replied:
It may take longer. Just make sure they’re cooked through with a meat thermometer
Can I use all cauli rice? Same amount of broth?

thepeachiespoon replied:
Haven’t tried but yes! The broth is just for the rice so maybe half the broth?
This was so good! I put it all in the instant pot (except broccoli & feta) and used frozen tenderloins from Costco.
