Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the rice and toast for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir to combine, breaking up any clumps in the soup.

  4. Step 4

    Add shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low.

  5. Step 5

    Cook covered for 8–10 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.

  6. Step 6

    Stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
