Creating Broccoli & Chicken Rice Cups is as simple as following these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare Chicken and Broccoli: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken and chopped broccoli florets.
3. Combine Rice: Stir in the cooked rice until well mixed with the chicken and broccoli.
4. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) until combined.
5. Mix Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the chicken and rice bowl, then add half of the cheese. Mix everything together until fully combined.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them to the top. Press down gently to compact them.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of each rice cup for a deliciously cheesy finish.
8. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Cool: Once done, allow the rice cups to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Broccoli & Chicken Rice Cups while they are warm and delicious!
