I remembered Greenwhich's famous baked rice melt. It's so cheesy and creamy and so hot! I had to make one since I'm craving for it.

How to make:

First thing that I did was to prepare all ingredients. I chopped the broccoli, minced onions and carrots. Set aside.

Then I prepare the rice cooked in rice cooker. But to make the rice more aromatic, I first saute minced onions in butter. Then add uncooked, but washed rice. Then added chicken cube and water on just how you would normally cook rice in rice cooker.

For the sauce: In a pan, add oil and saute onions. Then add all purpose flour to form a roux.

Then add evaporated milk and chicken stock. Stir until flour is dissolved completely and sauce thickens up. Add minced carrots, chicken thigh fillet. Then season it with salt and pepper. You can add a little Worcestershire sauce if you want. Simmer covered for 15 mins until chicken is cooked.

Add the boiled broccoli and a little cheese if you want. Set aside.

Transfer cooked rice into a baking dish or in a 8×8 aluminum tray.

Covered in prepared sauce and cheese.

Baked for 20 mins and served.
