Cheesy Jasmine Rice with Broccoli - frozen broccoli

Method

• Put chicken stock and broccoli in medium pan, turn heat to medium low and allow the broccoli to thaw, but don't let the stock boil.
• Add cream cheese and stir until mostly combined.
• Try not to over stir so your broccoli doesn't get mushy.
• The trick is not letting the stock get hot enough to boil...
• Yet.
• Add slices of cheese reserving 3-4 for later.
• You can also use shredded if that floats your boat.
• Add salt, pepper, minced onions.
• Stir to combine and crank the heat up to bring to a boil.
• Add rice to boiling mixture, stir.
• add reserved cheese slices to top (do not stir!)
• And cover with a tight lid.
• Bring heat down to low and allow to simmer for ten minutes.
• Turn off heat and let it sit, undisturbed for 20 more minutes and you're done!
• You can mix it all together if you like, but I like the melted cheese on top because it's kind of like a casserole.
