Chicken and rice bowl

Got a cranky baby, zero time to cook, or just zero motivation? Here's a mostly guilt-free dinner on a budget that's quick (yeah, 10 minutes? I can do that), easy, light, and nutritious! It made enough to feed my 18 month old and myself dinner, and we have enough leftover for Daddy when he gets home.

Cook 1 c rice (this takes the 10 minutes)
Open 1 can chicken, drain
Cut up 1/2 head of broccoli, add to bowl with 2T water, cover with plate, microwave 2-6 minutes, then drain.
Mix it all together. Add cheese, butter, seasoning (Nature's Own or Mrs. Dash are good), and sea salt. YUM.
