Ingredients

6 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 cup Arborio rice, uncooked
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
3-1/2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth, warmed
2 cups small broccoli florets, blanched
1/2 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

Cook bacon in large skillet on medium-high heat 5 min. or just until bacon is crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels.
Add onions to reserved drippings; cook 4 to 5 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook and stir 2 min. Add 1/2 cup broth; cook and stir 1 min. or until absorbed.
Stir in additional 1/2 cup broth; cook on medium-low heat 4 min. or until most the broth is absorbed, stirring constantly. Repeat until all the broth has been added. (Rice should be tender, but firm. This will take about 25 min.) Add broccoli; cook and stir 2 min. or until heated through. Remove from heat.
Add bacon and cheese; mix lightly.
