One-Pan Tomato Basil Chicken

I found this recipe ages ago in the coupon section of the newspaper, but I hadn't made it in years. I don't know why it's been so long. This is really good, and so easy.

One-Pan Tomato Basil Chicken
ready in just 30 minutes

• 1 package (6.9 ounces) Rice-a-Roni Chicken Flavor
• 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• 2 cups broccoli flowerets, or green beans
  
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Mozzarella cheese (optional)

1. In large skillet (10 inch), prepare Rice-a-Roni mix as package directs, except simmer 10 minutes.
2. Stir in chicken, basil, broccoli, and tomato.
3. Cover, continue to simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with cheese before serving, if desired.

Serves 4

I used cooked turkey instead of chicken, and peeled and chopped a frozen tomato. The original recipe calls for broccoli, but green beans are good, too. Also, I did not have any Mozzarella, so I used cheddar. Parmesan works, too.
