cheesy chicken broccoli mushroomskillet dinner
Fresh mushrooms, onion, and broccoli sprinkled with jasmine rice makes this skillet dinner meal special. I had all of these ingredients in my fridge and freezer so decided to make up this cheesy dinner. I’m good at making up recipes with stuff that I already have on hand kind of comes in handy when you are a seasoned cook. A sprinkle of thyme was also added for a bit of tastiness. Hubby loves this complete meal and so do I of course.
