As side dishes go, this cheesy zucchini rice is pretty much perfect! It's one pot, super easy to make, goes with everything, and is incredibly delicious. The texture is so perfect, too... creamy and smooth and velvety.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 medium or 2 small zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt + pepper to taste
• 1-2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium sauce pan, combine rice and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in zucchini, cheese, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Stir in milk if needed to thin out the sauce. Serve warm
