Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, milk, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
  7. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is heated through.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
