Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, diced chicken, broccoli, and carrots.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken and rice mixture, stirring until everything is well coated.
