Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 425 F according to package directions for the crispy chik'n bites. Get your bites on to a medium sized tray covered in parchment. Once preheated, get your bites into the oven for 7ish minutes. In the meantime, toss the broccoli with a splash of EVOO, some salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. After the 7 minutes, remove your tray from the oven, flip your bites, and get your broccoli on the tray in a single layer. Return your tray to the oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway until the the broccoli is tender-crisp and bites are golden.
Get the broccoli in a small pile and top with MOST of your shredded cheese. Turn off the oven and return the tray to the oven to melt the cheese while you cook the microwave rice. Prepare the rice according to package directions. Once finished, add the butter and remaining shredded cheese, stir in the package, and set aside.
Remove your tray from the oven and your cheese should be nice and melty. For service, get your rice into a decent sized rimmed bowl / serving plate, taking up about half the dish. Next, add the cheesy broccoli next to the rice and finish with your crispy chik'n bites next to that. Season the entire dish with a good pinch of salt. Drizzle the bowl with Baja / Ranch and finish with some green onions and pea shoots.
ENJOY 🙂
