Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Microwave Time: 29 to 34 minutes
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups water
2 cooked chicken breasts
1/2 cup frozen broccoli
1/2 cup frozen cauliflower
1/4 cup water
1 can cream of chicken soup

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the rice and 3 cups water. *Remember rice will expand while cooking, so make sure bowl is large enough! Microwave on high for 18 to 23 minutes, until rice is tender (stir rice once at 15 minutes and once at 20 minutes, and check the tenderness). Set rice aside.
Prepare 2 chicken breasts in the microwave, as directed. Dice the chicken, and set aside.
Combine the broccoli, cauliflower and 1/4 cup water in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 2 to 4 minutes until tender and warm. Drain excess water.
Fold the chicken, broccoli and cauliflower into the rice. Add one can cream of chicken soup, 3/4 cup sour cream, and 3/4 shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well. Microwave on high for 5 minutes until cheese is melted and dish is hot.
