Notes

Broccoli can be fresh or frozen- I would use 16 oz frozen broccoli bag.
Chicken- Can us rotisserie chicken for easiest or use chicken breasts or thighs using my easy Grilled Chicken Marinade.
Cauliflower – You can use fresh or frozen riced cauliflower. You could also use Hearts of Palm White Rice instead.
Chicken Broth- I used this to cook and soften the veggies as well as flavor. You do not want this to be too watery, so if you are using less broccoli or cauliflower, reduce the amount of chicken stock.
