I am definitely more into posting sweet versus savory recipes, because: a.) I have a huge sweet tooth and b.) honestly don’t find much excitement in my savory dishes compared to sweet. However…. this dish was SO EASY and SO DELICIOUS. I had to interrupt my normal gluten free cookies, muffins, and smoothies for this gluten free, dairy free cheesy rice and broccoli recipe. Like many of my other recipes, I added some hidden health benefits– for this one its from the collagen in the bone broth!
Here’s what you will need for this healthy gluten free meal:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white rice
- 1-2 tsp Primal Palate Garlic & Herb seasoning ( or use a combination of salt, garlic, onion, oregano)
- 3 cups chicken bone broth (I used Pacific Foods)
- Broccoli- I did not measure, just used one package of broccoli from Whole Foods, you can adjust the quantity for more or less
- 2 Tbsp of butter or oil ( For dairy free butter alternative, I like Earth Balance Soy Free)
- 1/2 package of Violife Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or any other dairy free cheese but Violife is my favorite so far!)
- 1/2 onion, diced

This recipe is made in an Instant pot but definitely could be made in a slow cooker or by cooking rice the conventional method and steaming broccoli and combining ingredients.I just got an Instant Pot and believe me, its worth it! I was hesitant to buy one because I was a bit intimidated, but after hearing and reading great things, I knew it was time to invest and try it out! I am definitely happy with my Instant Pot purchas and have used it for many other meals and dishes.
