- 1 Tbsp. canola oil

- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 3 tsp. garlic minced
- 6 large mushrooms sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste

Over medium heat in a large saute pan add the canola oil and saute the onion and celery for 3 min. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper and then add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender.
Add the rice and stir to combine. Add in the can of soup and again stir to combine. Slowly add in the chicken stock incorporating into the soup mixture. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15 min., stirring after 10 min. Add in a splash more of chicken stock if mixture is too thick and not quite cooked. Adjust seasoning.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until just tender. Shock in ice water and then drain and set aside.
When the rice is cooked add in 1/2 cup cheddar, Parmesan and stir well. Add in the chicken and stir well. Carefully add in the broccoli and stir just to incorporate slightly.
Top with the rest of the cheddar cheese, cover and let the cheese melt and the mixture heat. Serve immediately.
