For a creamier filling, consider adding a tablespoon or two of cream cheese to the broccoli-cheese mixture. Feel free to substitute the white rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option. If you don't have tropical poultry rub, you can use a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature to prevent foodborne illness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
