→ Main Components
01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
02 - 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped
03 - 1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed
04 - 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - 1 medium onion, finely diced
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - 1 tsp kosher salt
10 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
11 - 1/2 tsp paprika
# Method Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
02 - Add diced chicken breast to the pan and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika. Sear until lightly browned on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes.
03 - Pour rinsed rice into the pan and stir to combine with chicken. Add chicken broth and bring mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
04 - After rice has cooked for 15 minutes, lift the lid and fold in chopped broccoli florets. Replace lid and allow to steam for an additional 7 minutes, or until broccoli is tender and rice is fully cooked.
05 - Remove pan from heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture. Stir until melted and well incorporated. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
