This weekend I decided to make something very simple and healthy – Chicken and Broccoli. It may not seem like much, and it may not be the most exciting dish in the world, but it packs in a lot of nutrition and with only 462 calories, this meal will leave you feeling satisfied and guilt free. So when you next decide to have a healthy meal give this a try. Enjoy!!
Ingredients
Prep 25 mins | Cooking 25 mins
Serves: 4
- 450g of skinless, boneless chicken
- 500g of broccoli
- 284 ml can of cream of mushroom soup
- 284 ml of water
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 500g white rice
Method
Chop the chicken into small pieces, and marinade it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and soy sauce – set it aside whilst you heat the oil.
In a large pan, heat up your oil. Add the chicken; cook and stir on medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until cooked through and brown on the outside. Now add broccoli, mushroom soup and water and stir thoroughly. Boil until thick and creamy.
Cook your rice according to the instructions on the packet.
Serving
Sprinkle some cheese over the top if you wish, and serve your delicious creamy chicken and broccoli on top of your rice. Enjoy!!
You can also have this with pasta, and you can use chicken with skin if you would prefer.

@Kanta, I would rather you used marinate (verb) rather than *marinade (noun) in your sentence. I have advised (not adviced) you on this before but it seems you do not want to listen (NOT hear)!
Be assured that I will not repeat (NOT repeat again) this free piece (not peace) of advice (not advise).
Cheerio…

Ba Kaputa muli ba emphasis atini…!?
Ba vizungu, we want to buy Christmas cakes … as who have cash.
*us
Ba vizungu, in this context am talking about only myself having cash, so its as not us.
*it’s (it is, it has).
*Its is a possessive pronoun.
Ba Vizungu, are you a teacher of English? There are too many uneducated editors, like you on these blogs. Get a life or take a chill pill and sit down.
@The Donald,
Yes I am! But that does not necessarily mean I am in the education system, nor that I have obtained any formal education to teach English (English teacher).
I have never read English further than Form V ‘O’ level, so that is the tool I am using to ‘teach’ English. It just hurts me to see a lot of experts on here in everything; politics, power generation, agriculture, road construction, constitutional law, history, sarcasm, e.t.c. but who still can not express themselves in the most basic of English (language).
It hurts. It really hurts, Donald..!
I will take the chill pill BUT I will not sit down and let my people perish for want of ‘English’ knowledge. (Snerk)
Enjoy my lessons while they last.
(By the way I read Science in University.)
Point taken @ Vizungu.
You are definitely welcome!
Thanks for coming back and see you elsewhere…
It’s nice to see Kanta back from hols, BUT sorry,….am not up for this! I’ll just steam some mixed veg and chicken.
