Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup uncooked rice
- 1 can (10 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Step 1: Cook the Onion and Chicken
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Add chopped onion and cubed chicken to the skillet.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown and is no longer pink.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until the garlic becomes aromatic.
Step 2: Add the Rice and Liquids
Add the rice to the skillet, followed by the cream of chicken soup and 2 cups of chicken broth.
Stir everything together to combine well.
If needed, add more chicken broth until the rice is fully cooked.
Step 3: Cook the Rice
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cover the skillet and cook until the rice is fully tender, stirring occasionally.
This should take about 15 minutes.
Taste the rice for seasoning and adjust with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 4: Finish with Broccoli and Cheese
Add broccoli florets and half of the cheese to the skillet.
Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, just until the broccoli softens a bit.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and place the skillet under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown slightly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once the cheese is melted and slightly browned, remove the skillet from the broiler.
Garnish the dish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious meal!
