Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through.
Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add the uncooked rice to the empty side. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine everything in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and distribute the broccoli florets evenly over the skillet. Replace the lid and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the rice has absorbed the broth.
Remove the skillet from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and let it melt for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the chicken, broccoli, and rice hot and enjoy your quick and delicious meal.
