"Everything-but-the-bagel" Chicken, Rice, & Frozen Broccoli - Coronavirus Cooking Series

Had to be a little creative this week because of the coronavirus.

Looked up how to bake frozen broccoli with Wellplated.com.

Ingredients:
-Chicken, rice, frozen broccoli
-Olive oil
-Everything-but-the-bagel spice
-Garlic powder
-Onion powder
-Salt
-Pepper
-Red pepper flakes
-Balsamic vinegar
-OPTIONAL: also had leftover red onion that I caramelized the night before 

Directions:
1. Make rice
2. Bake chicken with spices
3. Season and bake (or Air Fry) broccoli
4. Mix rice and baked broccoli together - add in spices + balsamic vinegar + caramelized onions
5. Serve chicken on top

Directions to bake frozen broccoli:
1st night I steamed in bag, and 2nd night I baked in oven bc may be harder if using oven for chicken in 1st night - could consider using Air Fryer next time.
1. Heat oven to 400 F - keep pan in oven
2. Season broccoli using spray olive oil
3. Place frozen broccoli on hot pan - sprayed on extra olive oil
4. Bake for 17-20 min

Directions to Air Fry broccoli (haven't done):
1. Season broccoli using spray olive oil
2. Air fry for 20 min at 400 F - mix occasionally

Directions to caramelize onions:
1. Chop onions - half onion and the do radial cuts
2. Heat olive oil or butter/olive oil in pan on medium-high heat
3. Add onions and cover/cook on medium-high heat
4. Cover until onions somewhat translucent
5. Reduce heat to medium and intermittently stir
6. After 10 min, add salt
7. Let onions stick/brown/burn, and then stir
8. Total process could take up to 30 min to an hour depending on how many onions
9. Can add some balsamic vinegar towards the end
