INGREDIENTS

Easy Beef and Broccoli

2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
1 Tbsp. oil
1 lb. beef stir-fry strips
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup KRAFT CATALINA Dressing
1 Tbsp. grated ginger root

STOVE TOP One-Dish Chicken Skillet

1-1/2 cups hot water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.)
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup BREAKSTONE’S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

DIRECTIONS

Easy Beef and Broccoli

1. COOK rice as directed on package. Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add meat; cook 3 min. or until evenly browned, stirring frequently.

2. ADD broccoli, hoisin sauce, dressing and ginger root; stir. Cover. Cook 5 min. or until heated through.

3. SERVE over the rice.

Tips
• If you can’t find beef stir-fry strips in your supermarket, you can use any grilling steak, cut into thin strips, instead.
• Substitute jarred minced ginger for the grated ginger root.

STOVE TOP One-Dish Chicken Skillet

1. MIX hot water, butter and stuffing mix.

2. COOK chicken in large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat 5 min. on each side.

    Oh my gosh! Thank you for this!! My mother traveled to a country for 3
    weeks, and it is my responsibility to feed my family and keep my home
    clean.. but I didn’t have any ideas for dinner! Until I found this. I made
    the simple beef and broccoli meal, and my father and brother DEVOURED it!!
    Again, Thank you! I will for sure keep an eye on your recipes!!

    It looks nice, but I have noticed White European’s do not clean their foods
    before preparation??? Why is that?In the African Caribbean culture we wash
    our rice, meats and veg before use, as you do not know who or where it has
    been handled prior to reaching you!!

  14. Atikah M

    is it okay to replace it with bbq and chili sauce? cuz those two
    ingredients are hard to find here

    so I guess the prep time doesn’t count? How did she get that rice from
    container to pot in < 5sec and that size ginger graded in under 3min? Steaks already in strips? No seasoning (pepper/salt) on steak or chicken? I would say 40min on first recipe and 50min on second recipe and for someone who is comfortable in the kitchen. I think they use the 30min as a gimmick.
