Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch chunks and toss the chicken with 1.5 tablespoons of all purpose chicken seasoning. Be sure the chicken is covered in chicken seasoning. Set aside. 
  • Heat a large skillet (that has a cover) over medium/high heat. Add olive oil. 
  • When the olive oil is fragrant add the onion to the skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic to the onion and saute for another minute. 
  • Next, put the coated chicken pieces to the skillet pan and brown the chicken for 2 minutes on each side. 
  • Move the chicken pieces to one side of the skillet and add the rice to the cleared side of the skillet. Toast the rice in the skillet for 3 minutes. 
  • Toss the toasted rice with the chicken breast, onion, and garlic and then add the broth, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon of chicken seasoning to the skillet and mix.
  • Bring the broth to a boil, stir, and turn heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the rice mixture simmer for 10 minutes. 
  • Uncover the skillet and add the broccoli florets. Fold the broccoli into the mixture and cover. 
  • Cook everything together for an additional 10 minutes. 
  • Finally, remove the cover one last time and sprinkle the cheese over the top of the rice, chicken, and broccoli. 
  • Cover and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
