One-Pot Broccoli Cheddar Chicken
Broccoli Cheddar Chicken is a healthy one-pot chicken recipe that is the ultimate healthy comfort food and is packed with greens. Broccoli cheddar anything has my heart, but this one-pot or one-pan chicken recipe has to be one of my favorites. It is excellent on its own or on top of brown rice or quinoa.
